1st Verse:
D Em7
Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words,
D Em7
I thought he was a bitter man, he spoke of women's ways,
D Em7
They'll trap you, and they'll use you, and before you even know,
D Em7
For love is blind and your far to kind, don't ever let it show.
Chorus:
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

2nd Verse:
D Em7
The Can Can's such a pretty show, they'll steal your heart away,
D Em7
But backstage's back on earth again, the dressing rooms are great,
D Em7
They'll come on strong and it ain't to long, before they make you feel a man,
D Em7
But love is blind and you soon will find, your just a boy again.
Chorus:
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

3rd Verse:
D Em7
When you want her lips, you get her cheek, makes you wonder where you are,
D Em7
If you want some more, and she's fast asleep, leaves you twinklin' with the stars,
D Em7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say,
D Em7
You'll have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way.
Chorus:
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.
