Mom says, I'm way too small,
my friends are way to tall,
I'm just Daddy's little girl.
I want to grow up fast, I'd like to have a blast.
I want to be a big girl!
- Now!

Pre-Chorus:
Why can't they see, that all the little girls,
like me,
They just wanna be..

Chorus:
17, you know what I mean!
17, and I'm Prom Queen!
17, only in my dreams,
17, and I'm Prom Queen!
Sometimes, it's just not fair,

Mom and dad - they just don't care!
They think, I'm just as sweet as pie,
won't hurt what they don't know.
Now, it's time for me to gro-o-w!
I want to be a big girl!
- Now!

Why can't they see, that all the little girls,
like me,
They just wanna be..

Chorus:
17, you know what I mean!
17, and I'm Prom Queen!
17, only in my dreams,
17, and I'm Prom Queen!

17, you know what I mean!
17, and I'm Prom Queen!
17, only in my dreams,
17, and I'm Prom Queen!

Why can't I be, how ever old I want to be,
it's up to me, I'm tired of being little me!
I just want to be, ya ya ya..
I'm 17, you know what I mean.. going on 19!

Chorus:
17, you know what I mean!
17, and I'm Prom Queen!
17, only in my dreams,
17, and I'm Prom Queen!

Here, there and in between, one day, I will be 17!
