Poor old Granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you
And they'll use you
And before you even know
For love is blind
You're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
The can-can's such a
pretty show
It steals your heart away
But backstage
Back on Earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong
And it ain't too long
'Fore they make you feel a man
But love is blind
And you soon will find
You're just a boy again
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oo oo oo
When you want her lips
You get her cheek
Makes you wonder
where you are
If you want some more
Then she's fast asleep
Leaves ya twinklin'
with the stars
Poor young grandson
There's nothin' I can say
You'll have to learn just like me
And that's the hardest way
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that
I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Ooh la la
Ooh la la yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
