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
