Seventeen Lyrics

[BETTY] Fine, we're damaged, really damaged
But that does not make us wise

[CHERYL] We're not special, we're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies

[BETTY] 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

[JUGHEAD] People hurt us

[BETTY] Or they vanish

[JUGHEAD] And you're right, that really blows

[BETTY] But we let go

[JUGHEAD] Take a deep breath

[BETTY] Then go buy some summer clothes

[JUGHEAD] We'll go camping

[BETTY] Play some poker

[JUGHEAD] And we'll eat some chili fries

[BETTY] Maybe prom night, maybe dancing

[ALL] Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes)

[BETTY AND JUGHEAD] Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?

[CHERYL AND TONI] If you could let me in
I could be good with you

[BETTY AND JUGHEAD] Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right

[TONI] So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you

[ALL] I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you tonight

[BETTY] Yeah, we're damaged

[JUGHEAD] Badly damaged

[BETTY AND JUGHEAD] But your love's too good to lose

[CHERYL] Hold me tighter, even closer

[TONI] I'll stay if I'm what you choose

[BETTY AND JUGHEAD] Can we be seventeen?

[CHERYL AND TONI] If I am what you choose

[BETTY AND JUGHEAD] If we still have the right

[CHERYL] 'Cause you're the one I choose

[TONI] You're the one I choose

[ALL] You're the one I choose
