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 neighbors swimming pool
Yeah he taught me how to break the rules
Seventeen

But 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
Seventeen

Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
Favorite place was sitting in his car
Seventeen

Lay a blanket on the roof top
That time I knew I wanted me to stop
It was so cold but we kept him hot
Seventeen

But 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 a dream
It's way 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 a dream
It's way you and me
'Cause we were seventeen
