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 
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 
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! 
'Cause I rather die young 
Than live my life without you 
I rather not live at all 
Than live my life without you
