| 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, ooh la la, yea yea | |
| 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 |
