"Ooh La La (MTV Unplugged Live)" lyrics
(originally by Faces)
Poor old Granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
When he spoke of women's ways
"They trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
But love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't you ever let it show"
Well I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
"Well the can-can such a lovely show
She steal your heart away
Backstage back on Earth again
And the dressing rooms are grey
She comes on strong and it ain't too long
'Til you feel like you're a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
That you're just a boy again"
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Well I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
"When you want her lips, you get her cheek
It makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more, then she's fast asleep
She left you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You gotta learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Well 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
I wish that I knew what I know now
I wish that I knew what I know now
Well 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
I wish that I knew what I know now
I wish that
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
When he spoke of women's ways
"They trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
But love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't you ever let it show"
Well I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
"Well the can-can such a lovely show
She steal your heart away
Backstage back on Earth again
And the dressing rooms are grey
She comes on strong and it ain't too long
'Til you feel like you're a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
That you're just a boy again"
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Well I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
"When you want her lips, you get her cheek
It makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more, then she's fast asleep
She left you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You gotta learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Well 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
I wish that I knew what I know now
I wish that I knew what I know now
Well 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
I wish that I knew what I know now
I wish that
