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 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, ooh

'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

Oh! Oeehh...
Oh! Oeehh..

'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
