KEYBOARDS INTRO)

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

 

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

 

wishing and hoping

sometimes praying

wanting to leave but you keep saying

someday soon, sooner or later you'll be free

you know inside you heart that you want to run

gonna tear you apart 'cause 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

 

and though you try to laugh

there's a photograph

that reminds you too much of your dream

there's a chance you'll laugh

at that photograph

just reminds you of what might have been

ooh, you're only seventeen

(GUITAR SOLO)

 

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

you're only seventeen

lost in a world

only seventeen

caught in a dream
