Metamorphosis Lyrics - Bilingual - Pet Shop Boys

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 

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'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 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 

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 

'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 

It's all about love 

It's a metamorphosis
