[00:31.65]Poor old granddad,
[00:34.58]I laughed at all his words,
[00:38.19]I thought he was a bitter man,
[00:41.55]He spoke of women's ways.
[00:44.94]They'll trap you, then they use you,
[00:48.04]Before you even know,
[00:51.44]For love is blind and you're far too kind,
[00:54.84]Hey boy, don't ever let it show.
[00:58.48]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[01:03.64]When I was younger,
[01:05.21]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[01:10.07]When I was stronger.
[01:12.12]The can-can's such a pretty show,
[01:15.12]They will steal your heart away,
[01:18.54]But backstage back on earth again,
[01:21.76]All them dressing rooms are grey.
[01:25.27]They come on strong and it ain't too long,
[01:28.59]Boy they make you feel a man,
[01:32.28]But love is blind and you soon will find,
[01:35.22]You're just a boy again.
[01:38.12]And I said,
[01:38.98]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[01:43.68]When I was younger,
[01:45.90]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[01:50.60]When I was stronger.
[02:19.56]When you want her lips, you get her cheek,
[02:22.63]Makes you wonder where you are,
[02:26.06]If you want some more and she's fast asleep,
[02:29.32]Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
[02:32.35]And I said, poor young grandson,
[02:35.65]There's nothing I can say,
[02:39.58]You'll have to learn, just like me,
[02:43.18]And that's the hardest way, ooh la la.
[02:48.16]Ooh la la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[02:55.77]I said ooh la la.
[02:56.56]I said,
[03:00.22]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[03:04.91]When I was younger,
[03:06.75]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[03:11.54]When I was stronger.
[03:13.68]Said, I wish that I knew what I know now,
[03:18.25]When I was younger,
[03:20.49]Said, I wish that I knew what I know now,
[03:26.92]Ooh la la, ooh la la, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[03:33.88]Oh come on ooh la la, ooh la la, oh now ooh la la,
[03:44.23]Yeah, yeah ooh la la, oh ooh la la.
[03:52.98]Everybody sing, I said,
[03:54.05]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[03:59.73]When I was younger,
[04:00.67]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[04:05.87]When I was stronger.
[04:07.45]Said, I wish that I knew what I know now,
[04:12.86]When I was younger,
[04:14.66]I wish that I knew what I know now,
[04:18.76]When I was stronger.
[04:23.26]Ooh la la, oh.
