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 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
