[D]Poor old Granddad, I [Em]laughed at all his words
I [D]thought he was a bitter man he [Em]spoke of women's ways
They'll [D]trap you when they use you be[Em]fore you even know
For [D]love is blind and you're far to kind don't [Em]ever let it show
I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em]now when I was younger
I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em]now when I was stronger
The [D]can-can such a pretty show will [Em]steal your heart away
But [D]backstage back on earth again the [Em]dressing rooms are grey
They [D]come on strong and it ain't too long for they [Em]make you feel a man
But [D]love is blind and you soon will find you're [Em]just a boy again
When you [D]want her lips, you get her cheek makes you [Em]wonder where you are
If you [D]want some more then she's fast asleep leaves you [Em]twinkling with the stars
[D]Poor young grandson there's [Em]nothing I can say
You'll [D]have to learn, just like me and [Em]that's the hardest way
Ooh la [D]la Ooh la [Em]la, la la, yeah [D] [Em]
I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em]now when I was younger
I [D]wish that I knew what I know [Em]now when I was stronger
