At seventeen I was making the scene

But the girl I was dating kept making me wait in my car

Feeling kinda short of affection

I used to get the Saturday blues

Going through my record collection

I could be anyone I choose

I was a star

Yeah, I was a star

When I sang along

I was a star

Ooh, I was a star

I really loved the summer

I used to have my favorite place

I didn't care about the boys on the beach

When they kicked sand in my face

'Cause I could sing

Ooh, wah wah wah ooh

Ooh, wah wah wah ooh

Ooh, wah wah wah ooh

The summer days were over

And all the leaves had turned to brown

I didn't mind going back to school

But seasons quickly turn around

And I could hear

Ah, won't you be my little baby?

Ah, won't you be my little girl?

At seventeen I was making the scene

But the girl I was dating kept making me wait in my car

Feeling kinda short of affection

I used to get the Saturday blues

Going through my record collection

I could be anyone I choose

I was a star

Whoa, I was a star

When I sang along

I was a star

Ooh, I was a star

Every time that I hear it

I'm feeling seventeen again

Remembering all the nights when I couldn't sleep

And Buddy was my only friend

And he would sing

Ah, dum diddy dum diddy, oh yeah

Ah, ah, ah

At seventeen I was making the scene

But the girl I was dating kept making me wait in my car

Feeling kinda short of affection

I used to get the Saturday blues

Going through my record collection

I could be anyone that I choose

I was a star

Hey, I was a star

When I sang along

I was a star

Ooh, I was a star
