Oohlala lyrics

(original by Faces)

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 such a pretty show
will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain`t too long
For 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 her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
if you want some more then she`s fast asleep
Leaves you 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
