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'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 |
|
When you want her lips, you get a cheek |
|
Makes you wonder where you are |
|
If you want some more and she's fast asleep |
|
Then she's 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, yea yea |
|
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 |
