(I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know, yeah)

(I-I-I-I-I-I, I wanna know)



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 (
