She makes me feel like I am just 17
We had all of the time in the world so we won't say a thing
And we climbed to the top of the greatest of towering trees
I'd hold her so tight to say the least
And we swore it was love
But we were both high as high can be

I've been here before when I was just 17
Yeah I swore on a feeling my actions were hard to believe
I wanted the perks but had no means
Of facing a real responsibility
And that's when I felt that I might miss out tonight
Shall we try it all over again just to see if we'd like
Cheap thrills and pleasure's all I need
And she climbs into my arms and blindly trusts in me

She spoke so softly, I heard my backbone give out
And it's driving me crazy every single day without a doubt
Just as I said before that we break the rules tonight
Ask me if I've got a reason, the reason she won't like

And she hit the spot that brought me back to 17
I've been here before, the feeling ain't new to me
She smiled and she stares, and silence was all I need
It's me and you dancing 'til we run out of steam
And she could dance like trees can sway
Cheap thrills and pleasures always fade
And she comes in many shapes and shades
Her face will always, always be the same
