Lyrics Heathers: The Musical Cast – Seventeen
Text:
VERONICA:
Fine!
We’re «damaged»
Really «damaged»
We’re not «special», we’re not «different»
We don’t choose who lives or dies
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don’t you want a life with me?
Can’t we be seventeen?
That’s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us
J.D.:
Or they vanish
VERONICA:
And you’re right, it really blows
But we let go..
J.D.:
Take a deep breath
VERONICA:
Then go buy some summer clothes
We’ll go camping..
J.D.:
Play some poker
VERONICA:
And we’ll eat some chili fries
J.D.:
Maybe dancing
VERONICA:
Don’t stop looking in my eyes
J.D.:
Your eyes
BOTH:
Can’t we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
VERONICA:
So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you
J.D.:
I wanna be with you
VERONICA:
Wanna be with you
BOTH:
Tonight
VERONICA:
Yeah we’re damaged
J.D.:
Badly damaged
BOTH:
But your love’s too good to lose
VERONICA:
Hold me tighter
J.D.:
Even closer
VERONICA:
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose
J.D.:
Can we be seventeen?
VERONICA:
If I am what you choose
J.D.:
If we’ve still got the right
VERONICA:
‘Cause you’re the one I choose
J.D.:
You’re the one I choose
BOTH:
You’re the one I choose
