Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen.

Today's prompt is an easy one. We're just going to go with the song Seventeen by Winger. Pretty appropriate since I was indeed 17 when the song was first released. Just one of those great rock songs from the hairband generation that I love to listen to.

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I saw sparks fly from the corner of my eye
And when I turned, ooh, it was love at first sight
I said, "Please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh, it'd be a shame not to see you again"

[Pre-Chorus]
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet, and brought me to the floor

[Chorus]
She said, "I'm only seventeen (Seventeen)
I'll show you love like you've never seen" (Oh!)
She's only seventeen (Seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me
