(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 Chorus: 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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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--
