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

You know I`ve been in love before
You`re the first one 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

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

Oh!
Oh!

`Cause I rather die young
Than live my life without you
I rather not live at all
Than live my life without you
