Lyrics
[verse]
I curled my hair up special, put on my Sunday best,
Waiting by the phone to see if he would pass the test.
Being seventeen is trickier than they let on,
One day you're laughing, next you think that love is gone.
[chorus]
Seventeen, oh seventeen, my heart don't know which way,
Seventeen, oh seventeen, feels new every day.
One minute I'm flying, next minute I could cry,
Seventeen and dreaming underneath the summer sky.
[verse]
The girls all talk in whispers by the lockers after school,
Trading secrets, trading dreams, trying to stay cool.
I don't know the answers, don't know what's ahead,
But I know this feeling's dancing circles in my head.
[chorus]
Seventeen, oh seventeen, my heart don't know which way,
Seventeen, oh seventeen, feels new every day.
One minute I'm flying, next minute I could cry,
Seventeen and dreaming underneath the summer sky.
[bridge]
Harmonies are swirling like a schoolyard song,
Telling me that someday I'll know where I belong.
For now I'll keep on dreaming, keep on holding tight,
To every silly, hopeful, seventeen-year-old night.
[chorus]
Seventeen, oh seventeen, my heart don't know which way,
Seventeen, oh seventeen, feels new every day.
One minute I'm flying, next minute I could cry,
Seventeen and dreaming underneath the summer sky.
