[Verse 1]
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, and they ll use you, and before you even know,
For love is blind and your far to 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.

[Verse 2]
The Can Can s such a pretty show, they ll steal your heart away,
But backstage s back on earth again, the dressing rooms are great,
They ll come on strong and it ain t to long, before they make you feel a man,
But love is blind and you soon will find, your just a boy again.
[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.

[Verse 3]
When you want her lips, you get her cheek, makes you wonder where you are,
If you want some more, and she s fast asleep, leaves you twinklin 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.
[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.
