Some people tell me
That you're not my kind
And I'd believe them
But I can't get you
off of 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 don't always
do what I should
And I know what
makes me happy
And in my heart
you are it exactly
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
for a little later
Cause I'm only 17
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
I'll learn my lessons
And I'll make mistakes
And if I get burned
Well it'll be my
heart to break
It isn't easy
hearing what they say?
Sometimes you've got to
Take a leap of faith
Cause it feels right
Yeah it feels good
And I'm not gonna
do something stupid
Just this once I
wanna feel like
I can do what I want
When I hold tight
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
for a little later
Cause I'm only 17
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
Anyone
Who's 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
Cause it feels right
You know it feels good
And I don't always
do what I should
And I know what
makes me happy
And in my heart
you are it exactly
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
for a little later
Cause I'm only 17
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
for a little later
Cause I'm only 17
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
Only 17
Only 17
Only 17
