Some people tell me, that you're not my kind
 And i believe them, but i can't get you out of my mind
 Some people tell me that i should stay away
 Maybe I will... some other day

 'Cause it feel right
 And it feels good
 And i don't do always that i should
 And I know what makes me happy
 And in my heart you're 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
 Think i made my mind up, i got time to grow up
 Face responsibility
 Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
 While I'm only 17 

 (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 take a leap of faith

 'Cause it feel right
 And 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 [bad word] ]

 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
 Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
 While I'm only 17 
 (Only 17...)

[Bridge:]
 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

 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
 Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
 While I'm only 17 
 (Only 17...)

 Baby, got time to grow up...
 .. to face responsibility...
 ...hopin'... open... 
 Cause I'm only 17...
