I Wanted to Know

     I wanted to know what they thought 
     And I found out 
     I wanted to know who I was 
     Their words were hardly kind 

     I wanted to know what they thought 
     Oh, why did I want to know? 
     So then I went undercover 
     Oh yes, you had to ask from behind 

     I wanted to know the truth 
     Well, you certainly found that out 
     I wanted to know everything 
     And now look, you nearly cried 

     I wanted to know of all these things 
     You brought it upon yourself 
     I wanted to know what they said 
     And that�s what you certainly got 

     Because I wanted to know 
     I found out in the end 
     They saw me as a little nice 
     But mostly as pest, vermin 

     I wanted to know it all 
     And when I asked my "friends" 
     They knew not it was me 
     And told me their own end 

     They filled my ears with comments 
     None at all flattering 
     And I turned away distraught 
     Because I wanted to know 

     I wanted to know, and now I do 
     But the news is hardly good 
     I am annoying, kiss-up, perfectionist 
     Everything a kid really "should" 

     "Curiosity killed the cat" 
     Well, it destroyed my soul 
     But I still go and question on 
     For some reason, I still want to know
