[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[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
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment
Keepin' my heart open
While I'm only 17
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it feels right
Yeah, it feels good
And I'm not gonna do somethin' stupid
Just this once I wanna feel like
I can do what I want
When I hold tight

[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
I think I've made my mind up
I've got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment
Keepin' my heart open
While I'm 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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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
Livin' in the moment
Keepin' 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
Livin' in the moment
Keepin' my heart open
While I'm only 17
[Outro]
Only 17
Yeah
Only 17
