"Ooh La La" lyrics

"Ooh La La"
(originally by Faces)

Poor old Grandad
Laughed at all his words
Thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
"They trap you, use you
Before you even know
Love is blind, 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

Can-can such a pretty show
Steal your heart away
But backstage back on Earth again
The dressing rooms are gray
They come on strong but it ain't too long
They make you feel a man
Use you and soon you'll find
You're just a boy again

Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

When you want a kiss, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more but she's fast asleep
And she's twinkling with the stars
Poor old grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way

Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
Wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
That I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

Ooh-la-la-la-la
