Rod Stewart - Ooh La La

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

And 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

It steals your heart away

But backstage, back on earth again

The dressing rooms are gray

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

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

Oh yeah, oh yeah

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

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

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

Ooh la la, ooh la la

yeah, yeah

Ooh la la, ooh la la

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
