Makes you wonder where you are
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get a cheek
When I was younger
Ooh la la, ooh la la, yea yea
They'll trap you, then they use you
They'll steal your heart away
When I was younger
The Can Can's such a pretty show
The dressing rooms are grey
But love is blind and you soon will find
And that's the hardest way
I wish that I knew what I know now
They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before you even know
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
For love is blind and you're far too kind
I wish that I knew what I know now
You'll have to learn, just like me
Don't ever let it show
He spoke of women's ways
Then she's twinkling with the stars
When I was stronger
Before they make you feel a man
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
I wish that I knew what I know now
I wish that I knew what I know now
I thought he was a bitter man
But backstage, back on earth again
