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 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 

Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young 

Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young 

That's right

Aah, aah, aah, aah



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

And there's a lot to be said and to be done today 

Cause one of us is gonna die young 



And you're chim-chim-chammy and 

your're wealthy and you're whammy

'Cus one of us is gonna die young

One of us is gonna die young

One of us is gonna die young
