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 He said they'll trap you and they'll use you and before you even know For love is blind and you're far too kind Boy, 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 It will steal your heart away But backstage back on earth again All them 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, yeah You're just a boy again He said 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 When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are And if you want some more then she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars I say poor young grandson there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn it just like me And that's the hardest way, ooh la la Yeah ooh la la Yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh ooh la la Everybody sing 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 said 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 Hey I said ooh la la, ooh la la yeah yeah Ooh la la, oh ooh la la la la la la Say ooh la la Oh ooh la la la la la la la la la Oh ooh la la I said ooh la la Everybody sing I said 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 - Counting Crows
