(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
Iīm living proof that man can change
I knew what I wanted, I knew how to get it
It didnīt 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 Iīd 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)
Itīs all about change, itīs a metamorphosis

With time and age I had to change
īCause 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 whatīs 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 whatīs the reason (sex))
(Tell me whatīs the reason)

(You grow up and experience this)
(A total metaporphosis)
Itīs all about love, itīs a metamorphosis

Dreaming is easy, life is tough, I got the picture
The most important thing is not to end up bitter
īCause 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
Itīs all about change, itīs a metamorphosis

(I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
(I wanna know)
Itīs all about love, itīs a metamorphosis

(You grow up and experience this)
(A total metaporphosis)
Itīs all about change, itīs a metamorphosis

(I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
(I wanna know)
(I wanna know, yeah)
(I wanna know)
Itīs all about change, itīs a metamorphosis
(I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know, yeah)
(I wanna know)
Itīs all about love itīs a metamorphosis
(Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
(Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)

(Me-ta-mor-pho-sis)
