Lyrics
Cold, blunt granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
Who spoke of women's ways
He said, "They trap you and they use you
Before you even know
But love is blind and you're far too kind
So never 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
He said, "The can-can's such a pretty show
To steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
Oh well, they come on strong and they ain't too long
But they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you're soon to find
You're just a boy again"
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
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
And if you're wanting more, then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Oh, poor young grandson
There's nothing I can say
You have to learn just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la
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
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
Thank you
