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 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
but I 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 la la 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
