Ooh La La 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, then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and 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 such a pretty show Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long For 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. 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 you're just twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing 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.
