Next Time I'm Seventeen
It was the year of 91Freddy Mercury was goneAnd Nevermind1 was playing on our radiosWe were only 17I would park out on your streetWait for dark to see you climbing out your windowSomething's gone wrong with the weatherThere's a storm out in the desertBut to us that all seemed very far away
Sometimes, when I think about those daysIt makes me wonderWhat went byOh yeah, left me breathlessShe was so damn wildSometimes I think those were the best days of our lives.(Ohh)We were young and recklessToo soon, out of timeNext time I'm 17I won't be left behindShe would still be mineShe would still be mine
While the Iron Curtain fellWe were lying in a fieldShared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dadWe both knew what would happen nextIn my cherry red AX2Did she know she was the best I'd ever hadSaid we'd always be togetherThat we'd stay this way foreverThe future seemed so very far away
Sometimes, when I think about those daysIt makes me wonderWhat went byOh yeah, left me breathlessShe was so damn wildSometimes I think those were the best days of our lives.(Ohh)We were young and recklessToo soon, out of timeNext time I'm 17I won't be left behindShe would still be mine
You must be married nowIn some suburban houseAre you happy now?Do you ever think back to those times?It was so innocentDo you ever meet me in your mind?
Oh yeah, she left me breathlessShe was so damn wildSometimes I think those were the best days of our lives.We were young and recklessToo soon, out of timeNext time I'm 17I won't be left behindShe would still be mine
(Oh yeah, she was)She'd still be mine(Sometimes)Still be mine(Best days of our lives)
We were young and recklessToo soon, out of timeNext time I'm 17I won't be left behindShe would still be mine.
