My birthday candles have all gone out
The party's through & I'm alone with you
What a nice way to turn 17

I feel your sweet lips against my cheek
The lights are off, your shoulder feels so soft
What a nice way to turn 17

My friends all bought me so many gifts
But yours is the one I'm proudest of
A golden heart inscribed to me
"Happy birthday with all my love"

It feels like heaven here in your arms
Don't let me go, 'cause gee, I love, oh I love you so
What a nice way to turn 17
I'm 17
