Lyrics

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
