Poor old Grandad 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 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 (joana)

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

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
Whan I was stronger
