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
|
