He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
so steal those cigarettes and soda pops
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
But hey, this isn't long gone
when I here 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 this trailer park
flicking lighters just to fight the dark
favorite place is sitting in his car
seventeen
We laid a blanket on the rooftop
and telling you I want to be a star
it was cold but yo kept me hot
seventeen
But hey, this isn't long gone
when I here 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 its 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
oh, oh, oh, oh.....
I remember how 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
'cause we were living our dream
we were living like a dream
and we were seventeen
seventeen
