Please,please, please help me decipher this song, it's been bugging me for what seems like forever. What's the name of the song and who is the artist? the chorus goes a little something like this: "i wish that i knew what i know now, when i was younger"

Faces - Oh la la with Rod Stewart singing?

 

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 now
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

Rod Stewart also had a solo hit with the song in 1998.  The Faces version comes from the album "Ooh la la" from 1973.

 Incidentally, on The Faces version it was Ronnie Lane singing.
