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 then 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.. The can-can such a pretty show. Will 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. For they make you feel a man. But love is blind and 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 then she's fast asleep. Leaves 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 ooh la la.. CHORUS
