[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you


[Verse 2]

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 holdin' on to you

'Cause this might be our last night, oh


[Chorus]

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you (You)


[Bridge]

What I'm tellin' you

I'm givin' 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 it

Nobody understands what we've been through

I'd rather give up everything

Than to live my

Live my life without you, ooh, oh, ooh

Ooh, oh, ooh, ooh

Oh, ooh


[Chorus]

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you

'Cause I'd rather die young than live my life without you

I'd rather not live at all than live my life without you
