Young And Foolish

Corinne Bailey Rae · Other Songs - Corinne Bailey Rae

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
