Lyrics

Young & Foolish

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 your gonna do it anyway

Everybody makes mistakes ooh and everybody feels the same

There was nothing I could do and there was nothing I could say

They said we grown up to 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 your 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 your gonna do it anyway

Everybody makes mistakes ooh 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 your gonna do it anyway

Everybody makes mistakes ooh and everybody feels the same

There was nothing I could do and there was nothing I could say
