Young And Foolish

1. 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 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 were 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.

2. They say you've grown up to 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.

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 know what you're like
You were wise at seventeen.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Birds in the trees sing a song for me
About being young and fooling and naive
I haven't changed that much from what I see
I was only trying to make things right.

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 made up your mind
You were wise at seventeen.

[Chorus]
