"Seventeen" lyrics

[Betty:]
Fine, we're damaged, really damaged
But that does not make us wise
We're not special, we're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies
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 & Jughead:]
Can't we be seventeen?
Is that so hard to do?

[Toni & Cheryl:]
If you could let me in
I could be good with you

[Betty & 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 & 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 & Jughead:]
Can't we be seventeen?

[Cheryl & Toni:]
If I am what you choose

[Betty & 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
