Poor old granddad,

I laughed at all his words,

I thought he was a bitter man,

He spoke of women's ways.

'They trap you, then they use you,

before you even know.

Well love is blind, and you're far too kind.

Don't ever let it show.'



CHORUS:

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 awa

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



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 you 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, ooh la la.



CHORUS
