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 disuade 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 disuade 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
