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
Chorus: 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 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
Chorus
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
Chorus (X2)
Only 17, only 17 (Got time to grow up) Yeah, only 17
