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
  [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
  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...
