Young and Foolish Songtext
von Tone Damli

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

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

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

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

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


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
