D Em
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
D Em
I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways
D Em
They'll trap you then they use you Be-fore you even know
D Em
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
Chorus:
D Em G
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was younger
D Em G
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was stronger
Verse 2:
D Em
The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away
D Em
But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are great
D Em
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
D Em
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
Verse 3:
D Em
When you want her lips you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
D Em
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars
D E
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
D Em
You'll have to learn just like me And that's the hardest way
