Mandy Moore - 17 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 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

I'll learn my lessons
And I'll make mistakes
And if I get burned
It'll be my heart to break
It isn't easy
Hearin' what they say
Sometimes you got to
Take a leap of faith
'Cause it feels right
Yeah it feels good
And I'm not gonna do somethin' stupid
Just this once I wanna feel like
I can do what I want when I hold tight

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 don't always do what I should
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart, you are it exactly
