Lyrics

I'd Rather Die

I shouldn't drive
I'm way too high, can't get enough
It's not what it seems
Or can it be? Am I in love?
I'm on my knees
I'm begging please, can't give you up
Tonight (tonight)

Tomorrow
I'll do it tomorrow

I know I've said this before
About a thousand times
I try my best to be good
But I live for the night
And baby, can't you see
That I got everything that I need (ooh)

But if I can't have you
I'd rather die
I'd rather die
If I can't have you
I'd rather die
I'd rather die

I've been losing my balance
My balance, my balance
Keep on keeping these habits
These habits, it's tragic

Bitch, don't kill my vibe
'Cause this shit is paradise
You gotta keep it up
Make me feel alright
Feel alright
Feel alright

I know I've said this before
About a thousand times
I try my best to be good
But I live for the night
And baby, can't you see
That I got everything that I need (ooh)

But if I can't have you
I'd rather die
I'd rather die
If I can't have you
I'd rather die
I'd rather die
