Just like any other

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Heard the whispers, now let's see what all the talk's about

 

And he said age is just a number

Just like any other

Boy becomes a man now

Can't tell a man to slow down

I went out looking for love

When I was seventeen

Maybe a little too young

Ooh ahh, seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
