(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--
