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 Be-fore you even know
D
Em7
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
D
Em7
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
D
Em7
But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey
D
Em7
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
D
Em7
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
D
Em7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
D
Em7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the
stars.
