https://youtu.be/HiTVLVEFEMc?si=ugDxV2kAamxQuw9SAlways liked this song and it’s not that I’m directing it just a jab at women. Really like the second verse and how the song takes an ironical twist, with its humor. Probably the best song Ronnie Wood had a hand in..we get fooled a lot in life….
It leaves you ‘twinkling with the stars.’ It won’t be the first time and probably not the last. But I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger and stronger. This one goes out to UWE and I’m sure he knows why just like i. Here ‘back on earth again a lot more than dressing rooms turn grey.
Ooh La La
Song by the faces
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 when they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far to 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
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
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
