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
