See, as people we try to please one another In order to be equal, we lie so we don't have to suffer But I'm tired of hiding for the benefit of my peers What's so wrong with shining Why've you got so much fear I got my skin all out I don't care, I'm proud to be me Yeah I was scared to stand out Now I'm wearing my hair down And I feel so free Oh it's good to be seventeen Well I feel so free Oh it's good to be seventeen Seventeen See, as teenagers we think we have to blend it But if you want to be greater than this, there's no use in pretending Cause I tried to change myself for the benefit of my friends Well now it's time to wave goodbye cause My used to be's are at an end I got my skin all out I don't care, I'm proud to be me Yeah I was scared to stand out Now I'm wearing my hair down And I feel so free Oh it's good to be seventeen, baby I feel so free Oh it's good to be seventeen Seventeen I will be myself cause I like who I'm becoming If you're ready come with me, these boots are made for running But, I'm sick of running in circles around ya This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya I got my skin all out I don't care I'm proud to be me, yeah And I was scared to stand out Now I'm wearing my hair down And I feel so free Oh it's good to be seventeen Seventeen Seventeen Seventeen Seventeen I will be myself cause I like who I'm becoming If you're ready come with me, these boots are made for running But, I'm sick of running in circles around ya This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya
