Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Poor old granddad

I laughed at all his words

I thought he was a bitter man

He spoke of women's ways

[Verse 2]

They'll trap you and they'll use you

And before you even know

For love is blind and you're far too kind

Don't ever let it show

[Verse 3]

Oh, I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was younger

I wish that I knew what I know now

[Verse 4]

When I was stronger

[Verse 5]

The can can's such a pretty show

It steals your heart away

But backstage, back on Earth again

The dressing rooms are grey

[Verse 6]

They come on strong and it's 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 again

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, ooh

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say

You'll have to learn just like me

And that's the hardest way

[Verse 11]

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

[Verse 12]

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

[Verse 13]

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
