young and 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; watched the world go past

i tried to dissuade you but you made up your mind

you were wise at 17

and 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 grown up too fast

that we acted young and foolishly

i keep all this in mind when i recall the time

i have to disagree

and be here for you

oooh

and we talked and 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 17

and 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 tree 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

and 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

and 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.
