Rather Die Young Lyrics

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 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...

('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 tellin' you I'm givin' 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 been through;
I rather give up everything than to live my, live my life without you...

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...

I absolutely love this song.

She said on her DVD that she was inspired by the Shylites to make this song...its got a beautiful Diana Ross 70s Gold sound to it...
