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 got a hurry and a 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

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

Somewhere searching for your inner peace
I'm just looking for a little squeeze
