17 Lyrics

[Verse 1: Emma Norman]
I've been thinking all day about tonight
Making sure everything's just right
Making you look at me the same way you did when we were seventeen

[Verse 2: Ste Nunn]
And I've been working all week for tonight
Taking you dancing through the night
Holding you close to me the way we did when we were seventeen

[Chorus: Both]
We ain't getting any younger
But darling I still feel the hunger
Let's put the kids to bed
Drink some wine and whiskey and paint the town red
We ain't getting any younger
And darling I still feel the hunger
So hold me close tonight, don't let me go
Let's be seventeen tonight

[Verse 3: Ste Nunn and Emma Norman]
I know that I see you at home
But sometimes we need some time alone
Time for ourselves to have some fun
Just me and you like when we were young

[Chorus: Both]
We ain't getting any younger
But darling I still feel the hunger
Let's put the kids to bed
Drink some wine and whiskey and paint the town red
We ain't getting any younger
And darling I still feel the hunger
So hold me close tonight, don't let me go
Let's be seventeen tonight

[Bridge: Ste Nunn and Emma Norman]
Let's be seventeen tonight
Be seventeen tonight

[Chorus: Both]
We ain't getting any younger
But darling I still feel the hunger
Let's put the kids to bed
Drink some wine and whiskey and paint the town red
We ain't getting any younger
And darling I still feel the hunger
So hold me close tonight, don't let me go
Let's be seventeen tonight
