Some people tell me, that youre not my kind
And I believe them, but I cant get you off my mind
Some people tell me that I should stay away
Maybe I will ... some other day
cause it feels right
You know it feels good
And I dont always do what I should
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart you are it exactly
I dont wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
cause Im only 17
Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin in the moment, keepin my heart open
While Im only 17
(only 17...)
Ill learn my lessons, and Ill make mistakes
And if I get burned (get burned), itll be my heart to break
It isnt easy, hearing what they say
Sometimes youve got to take a leap of faith
cause it feels right
Yeah it feels good
And Im not gonna do something stupid
Just this once, I wanna feel like
I can do what I want when I hold tight
Chorus:
I dont wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
cause Im only 17
Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin in the moment, keepin my heart open
While Im only 17
(only 17...)
Bridge:
Anyone, whos ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means to have a dream
And no one can say anything
To change my mind, no, not this time
I dont wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
cause Im only 17
Think I made my mind up, I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin in the moment, keepin my heart open
While Im only 17
(only 17...)
Baby, got time to grow up...
To face responsibility...
Hopin... open...
Cause Im only 17...
