Only seventeen
And a dancing queen
I was dancing all night on a party
Saw him standing there
He had long black hair
He smiled at me and oh, I felt so happy
Then he kissed my hand
And took me for a dance
And told me that he loved me
While the stars were shining above
We were young and in love
We were young and in love (We were young)
We were young and in love
When he walked me home
We were all alone
And he said: “Hey, won’t you be my lady“
He looked me in the eyes
I watched the paradise
Yes, I do, I wanna be your baby
He kissed me oh, so long
I’ll call you on the phone
And tell you that I love you
While the stars were shining above
We were young and in love
We were young and in love (We were young)
We were young and in love
Be my baby tonight
(Be my baby tonight)
Squeeze and hold me tight
(Squeeze and hold me tight)
At an exciting week
I couldn’t get much sleep
I was only waiting for my lover
When we met again
He was the same sweet man
And as we knocked down what we can discover
Then he kissed my hand
And took me for a dance
And told me that he loved me
While the stars were shining above
We were young and in love
While the stars were shining above
We were young and in love
We were young and in love (Young and in love)
We were young and in love (We were young)
We were young and in love (Young and in love)
We were young and in love (We were young)
We were young and in love (Young and in love)
We were young and in love (We were young)
We were young and in love (Young and in love)
We were young and in love (We were young)
