Poor old granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of woman's waysHe said 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 showOh, I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know nowThe can can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray
They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy againOh, I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know nowWhen you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
Anf if you wanted more then she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the starsPoor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la la
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la la la la
