Lyrics

Seventeen
Music & Lyrics by Rachel Farris ©2012

I still like gummy bears and worms
 I still don’t like to touch the germs 
Still don’t ride my bike over the sewer grill 
Try to get things on my terms 
Had my share of bangs and perms 
Still look for a thing in life to spark a thrill

I still feel sweet deet de de deet 
Still feel like seventeen
 I try to run and I’m learning to sing
 I contemplate why girls are so mean 
Still call mom about everything

I still get so emotional 
Stuff myself till I’m too full
 Still like sitting way up front to raise my hand
 Still have so much left to learn 
Made mistakes I’d like to burn
 It’s all better at the game and hot dog stand

I’m staying this way forever 
I don’t want to change
 I act young and I like it
 I know it’s strange
