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
You're only seventeen
Lost in a world where you belong
Oh 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 your heart
That you want to run
But it tears you apart
Cause it can't be done
Though you try to laugh
There's a photograph
That reminds you too much of your dreams
There's a chance you'll laugh
But that photograph
Just reminds you of what might have been
You're only seventeen
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 You're only seventeen Lost in a world where you belong Oh 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 your heart That you want to run But it tears you apart Cause it can't be done Though you try to laugh There's a photograph That reminds you too much of your dreams There's a chance you'll laugh But that photograph Just reminds you of what might have been You're only seventeen Explain Request ×
