See as people we try, to please one another

In order to be equal, we lie

So we don't have to suffer, no

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 17

Well, I feel so free

Oh, it's good to be 17

17

See, as teenagers we think we have to blend

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

Well, now 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 17, baby

I feel so free

Oh, it's good to be 17

17

I will be myself 'cause I like who I'm becoming

If you're ready come with me

These boots were made for running

But I'm sick of running

In circles around ya

This ain't about ya (No)

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 17

17

17

I will be myself 'cause I like who I'm becoming

If you're ready come with me

These boots were made for running

But I'm sick of running

In circles around ya

This ain't about ya

This ain't about ya
