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, oh '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 Bidge- 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 instrumental solo- - - - - - - - all - - - - - - - - - all - - '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
