Ooh La La

[Verse 1]
Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man, he spoke of women's ways
"They trap you and they use you before you even know
Well, love is blind and you're far too kind, don't ever let it show"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The can-can's such a pretty show, it'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on Earth again, the dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long, they're gonna make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon may find you're just a boy again

[Verse 3]
When you want her lips and you get her cheeks it makes you wonder where you are
When you want some more and she's fast asleep, leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandchild, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me, and that's the hardest way

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la, yeah, yeah
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
