Ooh la la

Poor old Granda, 
I laughed at all his words. 
I thought he was a bitter man, 
Who spoke like women's ways. 
They'll trap you and they'll use you, 
And 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 CanCan's such a pretty show, 
Steals your heart away. 
The back stage back on earth again, 
The dressing rooms are grey. 
They come on strong 
And it ain't too long, 
For to make you feel a man. 
But love is blind 
And you soon will 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. 
Oh yeah oh yeah ooh ooh ooh ooh 
When you want her lips, 
You get her cheek. 
Makes you wonder where you are. 
If you want some more 
Then she's fast asleep, 
Leaves you 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. 
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. 
Ooh la la 
Ooh la la yeah yeah. 
Ooh la la 
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah. 
Ooh la la ooh la la. 
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah.
