They'll trap you, and they'll use you, and before you even know
DEm7
For love is blind and your far to kind, don't ever let it show
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger
DEm7
The Can Can's such a pretty show, they'll steal your heart away
DEm7
But backstage's back on earth again, the dressing rooms are great
DEm7
They'll come on strong and it ain't to long, before they make you feel a man
DEm7
But love is blind and you soon will find, your just a boy again
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger

Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
DEm7
You'll have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger
DEm7G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger
DEm7
Oh la la, oh la la ya ya ya
DEm7
Oh la la, oh la la ya ya ya
