Blondie — Die Young Stay Pretty

[Intro: Debbie Harry] Die young, stay pretty Die young, stay pretty [Post-Chorus 1: Harry, Frank Infante & Jimmy Destri] Deteriorate in your own time (Deteriorate in your own time) Tell them you're dead and wither away [Verse 1: Harry] Are you living alone, or with your family? A dried-up twig on your family tree? Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive? Or, just to die by the hand of love? [Refrain 1: Harry] Love for youth, love for youth So, die young and stay pretty [Post-Chorus 2: Harry] Leave only the best behind Slipping sensibilities Tragedy in your own dream, oh [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Harry] Ah, you sit all alone in your rocking chair Transistor pressed against an ear Were you waiting at the bus stop all your life? Or, just to die by the hand of love? [Refrain 2: Harry] Love for youth, love for youth So, live fast 'cause it won't last [Post-Chorus 3: Harry, Infante & Destri] Dearly near senility (Dearly near senility) Was it good, or maybe, you won't tell? [Outro: Harry] Die young and stay pretty You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no, no Die young and stay pretty, oh-ho, ho Live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no Die young, stay pretty You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no, no Die young, die young, stay pretty, a-ha, haha Live fast 'cause it won't last, no-no, no Die young and stay pretty, oh-ho, ho
