Boy you'll be the death to 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 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. [Chorus]. '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!. Oh!. [Chorus]. '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
