Metamorphosis - Lyrics by Pet Shop Boys


Lyrics
Please allow me to try and explain
I'm living proof that man change
I knew what I wanted
I know how to get it
It didn't make me 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 theywere 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'd 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 retreatand 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 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
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
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'case when you start to feel increasingly forlorner -- woomph! -- love comes right aroundthe corner
It may not last but here I 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 wanna know yeah
I wanna know
It's all about love
It's a metamorphosis
You grow up and experience this a total 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 loveit's a metamorphosis
