Some people tell me, that you're not my kind
And I 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
'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're it exactly
CHORUS
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
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, 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
Ya 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
Repeat 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
It feels right, you know it feels good
And I don't always do what I should (What I should)
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart you're it exactly
Repeat Chorus 2x
Baby, got time to grow up...
..to face responsibility...
...hopin'...open...
'Cause I'm only 17...
