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

'Cause I'd 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 holding on to you
'Cause this might be a last night, oh

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

'Cause I'd 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, live my life without you

Oh!
Oh!

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

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

What is the Meaning of Rather Die Young?

Ah, to be young and melodramatically in love! Beyoncé channels her inner teenage rebel in this ode to all-consuming passion. She's hooked on a lover as dangerous and thrilling as a Hollywood bad boy speeding down the highway. The song is a high-octane love letter to the kind of romance that burns too bright and fast, where Bey would rather face an early curtain call than endure a single scene without her leading man. It’s less about actual demise and more about the hyperbolic lengths we go to when smitten – because who needs caution when you've got this much drama?
