Some people tell me
That you´re not my kind
And I´d believe them
But I can´t get you off my mind
Some people tell me
That I should stay away
Maybe I´ll do that
Some other day
´Cause it feels right And 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 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
I´ll learn my lessons
And I´ll make mistakes
And if I get burned
Well it´s my heart to break
Because it feels right
And it feels good
And I´m not gonna do somethin´ stupid
Just this once I wanna feel like
I can do what I want Chorus
Anyone
Who´s ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means
To have a dream
And no one
Say anything
To change my mind
No, not this time
That you´re not my kind
And I´d believe them
But I can´t get you off my mind
Some people tell me
That I should stay away
Maybe I´ll do that
Some other day
´Cause it feels right And 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 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
I´ll learn my lessons
And I´ll make mistakes
And if I get burned
Well it´s my heart to break
Because it feels right
And it feels good
And I´m not gonna do somethin´ stupid
Just this once I wanna feel like
I can do what I want Chorus
Anyone
Who´s ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means
To have a dream
And no one
Say anything
To change my mind
No, not this time
