Intro:
( )

[Verse I]


He was working at the record shop

I would kiss him in the parking lot

Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop

Seventeen

He would tell me I was beautiful

Sneaking in the neighbor s swimming pool

Yeah he taught me how to break the rules

Seventeen

[Pre-Chorus]


But hey if this isn t long gone

When I hear this song it takes me back

[Chorus]


We were on top of the world

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That s the way it s supposed to be

Seventeen (seventeen)

[Verse II]


Stealing beers out of the trailer park

Flicking lighters just to fight the dark

My favorite place was sitting in his car

Seventeen

Laid a blanket on the rooftop

That time I knew I want to meet the star

Makes me cold but it kept him hot

Seventeen

[Pre-Chorus]


But hey if this isn t long gone

When I hear this song it takes me back

[Chorus]


We were on top of the world

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That s the way it s supposed to be

We were running red lights

We were going all night

Didn t care about anything

Cause we were living our dream

We were living like a dream

And we were seventeen

(Ohh ohh ohh oh part)

( - - )(x2)


I remember what it felt like

Just a small town kinda life

If only I could just go back in time

Seventeen


We were on top of the world

Back when I was your girl

We were living so wild and free

Acting stupid for fun

All we needed was love

That s the way it s supposed to be

We were running red lights

We were going all night

Didn t care about anything

Cause we were living our dream

We were living like a dream

And we were seventeen
