One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
