Ooh La La

Lyrics: Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood

Sung by Steve Pile with Phil Lesh & Friends in May 2019 in the Terrapin Crossroads backyard.

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
To 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's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray

They come on strong and it won't be long
Till you're feeling like a man
But love is blind and soon you'll find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's 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
Ooh la la, ooh la la la

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
