Poor old Grandad I laughed at all his wordsI thought he was a bitter manHe spoke of women's waysThey'll trap you then they use you before you even knowFor love is blind and you're far too kindDon't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know nowWhen I was youngerI wish that I knew what I know nowWhen I was stronger
The can-can such a pretty showWill steal your heart awayBut backstage back on earth againThe dressing rooms are greyThey come on strong and it ain't too longFor they make you feel a manBut love is blind and you soon will findYou're just a boy again (joana)
When you want her lips, you get her cheekMakes you wonder where you areIf you want some more then she's fast asleepLeaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can sayYou'll have to learn, just like meAnd that's the hardest way, ooh la la
I wish that I knew what I know nowWhen I was youngerI wish that I knew what I know nowWhan I was stronger
