Seventeen, I was living life

Chasing dreams and my hopes were high

Trying to get around my fear of

When and where do I go from here

I asked somebody close to me

Who could see a lot further than a boy could see

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by

I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over

Don't let the trials of life, change who you are tonight

Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

I said you're at that time of life when your heart is strong

Your future's bright, you can do no wrong

And don't you let those feelings out of sight

Keep a hold of them as the years go rolling by

These words have always stuck with me

But now I'm only getting what it all appears to mean

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by

I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over

Don't let the trials of life, change who you are tonight

Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

And I hope you live your life the way that I lived mine

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by

I'm still seventeen inside, not one day over

I won't let the trials of life, change who I am tonight

Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

So stay seventeen each time you get one year older
