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 use and abuse you before you even know    But love is blind and you're far to 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 up again)   The dressing rooms all grey   They'll come on strong and it ain't too long    For they make you feel a man    But love is blind and you soon will find    You're just a boy again       If you want her lips   And you get her cheek   It makes you wonder where you are    If you want some more and she's fast    asleep    Then you're twinkling with the stars   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, yeah
