Lyric Ooh La La

(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood)

Poor old Granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women s ways

They ll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and 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.

The Can Can s such a pretty show
They ll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are greyThey come on strong and it ain t too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You re just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she s fast asleep
Then she s twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, there s nothing I can say
You ll have to learn, just like me
And that s the hardest way
Ooh la la

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.
