“I’m Amazed at the Way You’ve Changed”

LILA:
I’m amazed at the way you’ve changed.
You’ve stepped out of your shell.
Yeah, I’m amazed at the way you’ve changed.
Or did I just not know you well?

But now the spark between us is a whole lot warmer.
You’ve metamorphicized; you’re a Charlie Transformer.
This is super unexpected and incredibly strange,
but I’m amazed, amazed, amazed at the way you’ve changed.

I’m amazed at the way you’ve changed.
You’re more self-assured; more tough.
Or maybe you have stayed the same
and I just never looked deep enough.

But now the heat between us is a whole lot hotter.
You were Ron Weasley, now you’re Harry Potter.
You’ve adjusted your ambitions, you’ve expanded your range,
and I’m amazed, amazed, amazed at the way you’ve changed.

Clark Kent turned into Superman
so he could fight the thieves and thugs.
Marshall Mathers became Eminem
once he started taking drugs.
And Gregor Samsa awoke one day
to find he was a giant bug!
But every one of those guys leaves me cold.
You’ve turned on the charm, Charlie, and I’m sold.
So come here and kiss me before I grow mold,
‘cause I’m amazed, amazed, amazed at the way you’ve changed.

Somehow you’ve opened up; you’ve let down your guard.
You were Charmander now you’re Charizard.
You’re re-jiggered, you’re reordered, yeah you’ve been rearranged,
and I’m amazed, amazed, amazed at the way you’ve changed.

Richard Starkey became Ringo Starr
so his band would let him play.
Ronald Reagan gave up acting
to lead the USA.
And Norma Jean became Marilyn Monroe
so she could sleep with JFK!
But every one of those folks leaves me cold.
You’ve turned on the charm, Charlie, and I’m sold.
So come here and kiss me before I grow mold,
‘Cause I’m amazed, amazed, amazed,
Yeah, I’m amazed at the way you’ve changed.
