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
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's such a pretty show
They'll 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
Before they make you feel a man.
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again.

(Solo)

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
Keeps 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
Ooh la la
Ooh la la Yeah Yeah

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.
