One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young

I wanna hold you but you're out of reach

somewhere searching for your inner peace

I'm just looking for a little squeeze

Face to face and cheek to cheek



It's in your blood but not in mine

What's in your blood is in my mind

something's broken in the way we smile

It is within us all the time



You're well aquainted with the So- o- o-Ho

And all the ”Ello” and ”Ow are 'u?”

And we both have to get it on before the summer's gone



We gotta hurry with no worry to get done today

Cause one of us is gonna die young

Let's put our money where our mouth is and get out today

Cause one of us is gonna die young

Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young

Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young



And don't you take this the wrong way

I'm not looking for a way to replace

what love can give

Cause you can't do that!

I'm only saying that where I come from

People find it very fashionable

to burn like a flame

Never get tame

Grown-up and lame

Yeah! Yeah!

You're looking beat but you say: ”no, oh, no, no”

”I'm all messed up and I'm ready to go!

We ain't gonna go it alone no more

So let's get on

with the show...”



There's a lot to be said and to be done today

Cause one of us is gonna die young

Before they put us in a coffin I've got things to say

One of us is gonna die young

One of us is gonna die young



Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young

Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young

There's a lot to be said and to be done today

Cause one of us is gonna die young

We'll go shim-shim shammey

And get whimsy and get whammy

Cause one of us is gonna die young

One of us is gonna die young

One of us is gonna die young
