lyrics

I'm about seventeen I guess / I read what the calendar said
But I'm not about to drop dead / I just happened on the scene
And since I wake up in the morning and I love the world
Like a boy chasing his first girl
What do numbers mean / Im about seventeen

Just about seventeen

Since I still wanna laugh and I still wanna go
And you still can't beat me for rock n roll
What do numbers mean / I'm about seventeen

I'm about seventeen / I read what the calendar says
But my heart is not dead / I just showed up on the scene
And since I walk down your street with a certain joy
Usually found in a girl kissing her first boy
What do numbers mean / I'm about seventeen

Just about seventeen

When I hear he's getting older it still sounds so strange
I wake up and i know that I haven't changed
You know what I mean / I'm about seventeen
