1. Poor old Grandad, I laughed at all his words,

          D                                                 Em

    I thought he was a bitter man who spoke about women‘s ways.

                  D                                                    Em

    They‘ll trap you and they‘ll use you, and before you even know,

          D                                                              Em

    for love is blind and you‘re far too kind, don‘t ever let it show.

 

     D                                          Em       G    

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger  !

     D                                           Em      G

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger !

2. The Can Can‘s such a pretty show, it steals your heart away,

             D                                                       Em

    the back stage back on earth again, the dressing rooms are grey.

               D                                                               Em

    They come on strong and it ain‘t too long for to make you feel a man,

           D                                                               Em

    but love is blind and you soon will find, you‘re just a boy again.

 

     D                                          Em       G   

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 !

3. When you want her lips, you get her cheek,

                        Em

    makes you wonder where you are,

                D

    if you want some more, then she‘s fast asleep,

                        Em

    leaves you twinkling with the stars.

        D                                             Em 

    Poor young Grandson, there‘s nothing I can say,

             D                                               Em

    you have to learn, just like me, and that‘s the hardest way.

 

     D                                          Em       G   

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger  !

     D                                           Em      G

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger !
