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's within us
all the time
You're well acquainted
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 in our 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
Oh oh
One of us is
gonna die young
Oh oh
One of us is
gonna die young
That's right
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
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
'cause one of us is
gonna die young
One of us is
gonna die young
Oh oh
One of us is
gonna die young
Oh oh
One of us is
gonna die young
And there's a lot to be said
and to be done today
'cause one of us is
gonna die young
We'll go chim-chim-chammy
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
