Текст песни Ooh La La, Rod Stewart
(Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, 1973)
[vocals by Ronnie Lane]
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 before you even know
For love is blind and you re far too kind
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
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The 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
You re just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she s fast asleep
you re just 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, ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
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.
