I want to 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 acquainted with the
So- o- o-Ho
And all the "Ello" and "Ow are 'you?"
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 P
One of us is gonna die young
