(Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
You can ask for it all you want 
It doesn't mean you're gonna get it 
You can get down on your knees and beg and plead 
I know, I know 
I used to think I thought I knew what you needed 
But you wanna be friends or the timing is all wrong 
Nobody told me that the waiting takes this long 

I wanna know the expiration date 
I wanna know the end is near 
I'm so sick of sitting around here dreaming 
I got so much curiosity, but I don't wanna be here 
You can talk about it all you want 
It doesn't mean that you know it 
Tell me- when did you ever learn to be so tough? 
I know, I know, I know 
I used to think I thought I knew when I'd had enough 
But it's been so long since I let myself go 
And lately it seems that I'm the last one to know 

I wanna know the expiration date 
I wanna know the end it near 
The time has got me locked up in a cage 
And I wanna be able to read the last page 
To a warm summer night 
To a shiny happy bright 
To yellows oranges and greens 
To breathing you into me 
To letting it unfold 

I wanna know the expiration date 
I wanna know the end it near 
The time has got me locked up in a cage 
And I wanna be able to read the last page
I wanna read the last page--
