Ooh La La

Poor old granddad
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'll use you
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 all I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was stronger

The can-can is such a pretty show
Steal your heart away
Backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are great
They'll come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind, you soon will find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more, she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Oh, poor young grandson
There's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn just like me
And that's the hardest way

Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la, la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la, la

I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was stronger

I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was stronger
I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew all I know now
When I was stronger
