Lyrics
Only Seventeen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
nobody hears when you're talking
too many tears have you calling
what can I do? why is it no one seems to care?
where is the love, you often wonder
too many nights you wait and wonder
how can it be - why do you feel there's no one there?
if only you could steal away somehow
maybe they'd understand what's the use anyhow
only seventeen
lost in a world where you belong
only seventeen
caught in a dream and always wrong
and as the night begins to fall
how can you win
you're only seventeen
wishing and hoping
sometimes praying
wanting to leave but you keep saying
someday soon, sooner or later you'll be free
you know inside you heart that you want to run
gonna tear you apart 'cause it can't be done
you're only seventeen
lost in a world where you belong
only seventeen
caught in a dream and always wrong
and though you try to laugh
there's a photograph
that reminds you too much of your dream
there's a chance you'll laugh
at that photograph
just reminds you of what might have been
ooh, you're only seventeen
(GUITAR SOLO)
you're only seventeen
lost in a world where you belong
only seventeen
caught in a dream and always wrong
and as the night begins to fall
how can you win
you're only seventeen
lost in a world
only seventeen
caught in a dream
you're only seventeen
lost in a world
only seventeen
caught in a dream
