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

Only seventeen

Caught in a dream and always wrong

And as the night begins to fall how can you win

You're only seventeen



Wishin and hopin' sometimes prayin'

Wanting to leave but you keep sayin'

Someday soon, sooner or later you'll be free

You know inside your heart that you want to run

But it tears you apart 'cos 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

Though you try to laugh there's a photograph

That reminds you too much of your dreams



There's a chance that you'll laugh with that with that photograph

Which reminds you of what might have been

You're only seventeen

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

Your only seventeen

Lost in a world

Only seventeen

Caught in a dream
