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