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
