Pet Shop Boys - Metamorphosis lyrics

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 And 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 bu*terfly It can seem strange But when you reminisce It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know It's all about love It's a metamorphosis You grow up and experience this A total metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about love It's a metamorphosis
