verse 1: 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 For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show I wish that I knew all I know now When I was younger I wish that I knew all I know now When I was stronger. Main Melody (2x) verse 2: The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are great They 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 Chorus verse 3: 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 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
