[Verse] Baby's been sleepin' with the light on She don't wanna close her eyes She afraid she won't wake up In the mornin' light She's afraid to die [Prechorus] I don't know what I would do I don't know how I'd get through Don't know if I could make it through [Chorus] You better let me die first You better let me die first I wanna go first You better let me die first You better let me die first I wanna go first [Verse 2] Wanna close my eyes at the same time Baby says that's not a plan If one of us don't make it Then the other one's damned I know that she's right [Prechorus] I don't know what I would do I don't know how I'd get through Don't know if I could make it through [Chorus] You better let me die first You better let me die first I wanna go first You better let me die first You better let me die first I wanna go first [Verse] She's out of my league I'm out of my mind But somehow we seem to work just fine I don't understand it But that's not the point Just put your hand in mine [Chorus] And let me die first Before you leave this earth Baby Let me die first Before you leave this earth Baby Let me die first [Verse 2] It may be too late I already lost you It's the way it goes Ain't it? It'll happen to you too What do you mean you ain't scared? Well You must be insane You don't get out of here Until you learn the pain [Chorus] And let me die first Before you leave this earth Baby Let me die first Before you leave this earth Baby Let me die first
