[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 2]
You know I've been in love before
You're the first one I ever seen that burns like gasoline
So light a match, turn off the lights
I'm holdin' on to you 'cause this might be our last night, oh
[Chorus]
'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
