Lyrics: 17

Yeah, oh, oh
(Got time to grow up) oh
(Keeping my heart open)
Oh, oh, yeah

Some people tell me
That you're not my kind
And I'd believe them
But I can't get you off my mind
Some people tell me
That I should stay away
Maybe I will (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
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 behaviour
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)

I'll learn my lessons
And I'll make mistakes
And if I get burned (get burned)
It'll be my heart to break
It isn't easy hearing what they say
Sometimes you've got to (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
If I hold tight

I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behaviour
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, 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 (feels good)
And I don't always do
What I should (I should)
And you know what makes me happy
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 behaviour
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)

I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behaviour
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)

Only 17, only 17
(Got time to grow up)
Yeah, only 17
