Metamorphosis Lyrics

    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)

    (I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
    (I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know)

    Please allow me to try and explain
    I'm living proof that man can change
    I knew what I wanted, I knew how to get it
    It didn't make me happy to I started again
    What I wanted to be was a family man
    But nature had some alternative plans
    So I did without the lot, put emotion on hold
    And hoped my instincts would do what they were told

    (I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
    (I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know)

    But every now and then, and often at night
    A particular feeling would surface, in spite
    Of what I'd told myself and tried to deny
    I kept on asking the question: why?

    (Why, why, why, I wanna know)

    (You grow up and experience this)
    (A total metaporphosis)
    It's all about change, it's a metamorphosis

    With time and age I had to change
    'Cause my behaviour was getting strange
    People on the street caught my eye
    And I begin to think I might be their kind of guy
    The long-term suppression of an adolescent urge
    Was in retreat, and I was on the virge
    Of falling in love or having fun
    Time was running out, something had to be done.

    (I wanna know, yeah)
    (I wanna know)
    (I wanna know, yeah)
    (Tell me what's the reason)

    Where was I? Laying down the law
    Dancing with the others out on the floor
    Music and smoke, what did it mean?
    Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
    I had what I wanted, madly in love
    And nothing else mattered, this was enough
    Questions were answered which used to perplex
    In particular those about the big s.e.x.

    (I-I, I wanna know, yeah (sex))
    (I wanna know (sex))
    (I wanna know, yeah)
    (Tell me what's the reason (sex))
    (Tell me what's the reason)

    (You grow up and experience this)
    (A total metaporphosis)
    It's all about love, it's a metamorphosis

    Dreaming is easy, life is tough, I got the picture
    The most important thing is not to end up bitter
    'Cause when you start to feel increasingly forlorner
    - Woomph! - love comes right around the corner
    It may not last, but here am I
    Once a caterpillar, now a butterfly
    It can seem strange, but when you reminisce
    It's all about change, it's a metamorphosis

    (I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
    (I wanna know)
    It's all about love, it's a metamorphosis

    (You grow up and experience this)
    (A total metaporphosis)
    It's all about change, it's a metamorphosis

    (I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
    (I wanna know)
    (I wanna know, yeah)
    (I wanna know)
    It's all about change, it's a metamorphosis
    (I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
    (I wanna know)
    It's all about love it's a metamorphosis
    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)

    (Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
