(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood)
|
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 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 what I know now
|
When I was younger.
|
I wish that I knew what I know now
|
When I was stronger.
|
|
The Can Can's such a pretty show
|
They'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
|
Before 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 a cheek
|
Makes you wonder where you are
|
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
|
Then she's 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"
|
|
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.
