Metamorphosis |
| 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 it happy so 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 wanna know yeah |
| I wanna know |
| But every now and then |
| often at night |
| a particular feeling would surface in spite |
| of what I told myself and tried to deny |
| I kept on asking the question: why? |
| I wanna know yeah |
| I wanna know |
| You grow up and experience this |
| a total metamorphosis |
| 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 began 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 verge |
| 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 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 |
| Nothing else mattered |
| This was enough |
| Questions were answered |
| which used to perplex |
| in particular those about the big s.e.x. |
| I wanna know yeah |
| I wanna know |
| I wanna know yeah |
| Tell me what’s the reason |
| You grow up and experience this |
| A total metamorphosis |
| 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 |
