You changed my face
  I think I like it better now
  It doesn't matter anyhow
  Cuz that's the way it is
    You said hello
  Where the hell you been?
  I said I feel like I been off to war
  And I may never be the same again
    I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
  Cuz you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
  I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
  And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud
    And when you dream, seventeen
  I ain't there, so I don't care
  Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
  And she's the girl right next to me
  See that girl right next to me
    I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
  Going over and over and over the things that you said
  I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
  Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone
    And when you dream, seventeen
  I ain't there, so I don't care
  Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
  And she's the girl right next to me
  See that girl right next to me
    And when you dream, seventeen
  I ain't there, so I don't care
  Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
  And she's the girl right next to me
  See that girl right next to me
  She's the girl right next to me
  See that girl right next to me
