Ooh La La Lyrics
Poor old grand-dad
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
And 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
Steals your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray
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
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
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leave's 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
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
Yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
And before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Steals your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leave's you twinkling with the stars
There's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
Ooh la la
Yeah yeah

Ooh la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la

Such a great song in the vein of "I was Only Joking". When you were younger, you feel like making fun of older generations but when you get older, you feel that experience is great teacher and have to learn hard way - you would wish you knew what you know now.
This reminds me of generations who said "Ok Boomer" and when they get older, hopefully they get wiser and they too wish they knew what they know then
