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
