rather die young

boy you'll be the death of me

you're my james dean

you make me feel like i'm seventeen

you drive too fast

you smoke too much

but that don't mean a thing

'cause i'm addicted to the rush

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you

you know i've been in love before

you're the first one i ever seen

that burns like gasoline

so light a match

turn off the lights

i'm holding on to you

'cause this might be a last night

oh

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you

what i'm telling you

i'm giving you my life

it's in your hands

and what i'm gonna do

is be a woman and you can be a man

and i wanna say

nobody understands what we've been through

i rather give up everything

than to live my life without you

ooh. oh!

ooh. oh!

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you

'cause i rather die young

than live my life without you

i rather not live at all

than live my life without you
