Mandy Moore - 17 lyrics

Some people tell me, that you're not my kind

And I believe them, but I can't get you off 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 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

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 feels right

Yeah 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

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...)

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

'Cause it feels right,

you know it feels good,

and I dont always do what I should(what i should)

and I know what makes me happy (and in my heart)

and 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

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...
