Fine, we're damaged, really damaged But that does not make us wise We're not special, we're not different We don't choose who lives or dies Let's be normal, see bad movies Sneak a beer and watch TV We'll bake brownies or go bowling Don't you want a life with me? Can't we be seventeen? That's all I want to do If you could let me in I could be good with you People hurt us (or they vanish) And you're right, that really blows But we let go (take a deep breath) Then go buy some summer clothes We'll go camping (play some poker) And we'll eat some chili fries Maybe prom night, maybe dancing Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes) Can't we be seventeen? Is that so hard to do? If you could let me in I could be good with you Let us be seventeen If we still got the right So what's it gonna be? I wanna be with you I wanna be with you Wanna be with you Tonight Yeah, we're damaged (badly damaged) But your love's too good to lose Hold me tighter, even closer I'll stay if I'm what you choose Can we be seventeen? If I am what you choose If we still have the right 'Cause you're the one I choose You're the one I choose You're the one I choose
