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 neighbours swimming pool
yeah, he'd tell me how to play the rules
seventeen
Hey, those days are long gone
but when I hear this song
it takes me back
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
Stealing beers out of the trailer park
flicking lighters just to fight the dark
my favourite place was sitting in this car
seventeen
Record breaking on the rooftop
that time I knew I wouldn't make it stop
my hands were cold but you kept them hot
seventeen
Hey, those days are long gone
and when I hear this song
it takes me back
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
we were living the dream
baby you and me
And we were seventeen
I remember what it felt like
Just a small town kind of 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
We were living the dream
baby you and me
And we were seventeen
Seventeen seventeen seventeen
