Young & Foolish

I remember sitting back
Cause you said you had something to say
You told me that you had a secret, yeah yeah
Promised to keep it safe
I kept it for you

And we talked and we laughed
And we sat in the car
And watched the world go past
I tried to dissuade you
But you'd made up your mind
You were wise at seventeen

[Chorus:]
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
You're gonna do it anyway
Everybody makes mistakes
And everybody feels the same
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say

They said we've grown up too fast
That we acted young and foolishly
I keep all this in mind when i recall the times
I'd have to disagree
I'll be here for you

Ooh and we talked and we laughed
And we sat in the park
And watched the world go past
I tried to dissuade you
But you know what you're like
You were wise at seventeen

[Chorus:]
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
You're gonna do it anyway
Everybody makes mistakes
And everybody feels the same
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say

Birds in the trees sing a song for me
About being young and foolish and naive
I haven't changed that much from what i see
I was only trying to make things right

[Chorus:]
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
You're gonna do it anyway
Everybody makes mistakes
And everybody feels the same
There was nothing I could do
And there was nothing I could say
