Poor old granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of womens ways

Theyll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and youre far too kind
Dont 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 cans such a pretty show
Theyll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey

Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
Youre 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 shes fast asleep
Then shes twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, theres nothing I can say
Youll have to learn, just like me
And thats the hardest way
Ooh 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.
