Text: Rod Stewart. Ooh La La.

Poor old grand-dad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways

They'll trap you, then they 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 can-can, such a pretty show
Steals your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray

They 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

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
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leave's you twinkling with the stars

Poor young grandson
There's nothing I can say
You'll 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

Yeah yeah
Ooh la la

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
