[Verse 1]

Let's be honest, you're not flawless

But you're as close as anything I've seen

You're not the woman you envisioned

But your life is not a broken time machine

No, it's not that bad

No, it's really not that bad

[Chorus]

A little midnight chardonnay

Smooth the edges off the day

A little taste of maryjane

Makes you feel young again

All those years around your eyes

Always take you by surprise

You've been living in a dream

Forever 17

[Verse 3]

A reckless lover, a father figure

You search for both in every man you meet

You're not a mother and sometimes you wonder

If a son or daughter just might make you feel complete

But no, you don't need someone else

No, it's hard enough to learn to love yourself

[Chorus]

A little midnight chardonnay

Smooth the edges off the day

A little taste of maryjane

Makes you feel young again

All those years around your eyes

Always take you by surprise

You've been living in a dream

Forever 17

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]

A little midnight chardonnay

Smooth the edges off the day

A little taste of maryjane

Makes you feel young again

All those years around your eyes

Always take you by surprise

You've been living in a dream

Forever 17
