(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 greyThey 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.
