Boy, you'll be the death of me You're my James Dean You make me feel like I'm 17 You drive too fast You smoke too much But that don't mean a thing 'cause I'm addicted to the rush '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 know I've been in love before You're the first one I've ever seen that burns like gasoline So light a match, turn off the lights I'm holding on to you cause this might be our last night 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 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'd rather give up everything Than to live my, 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 '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
