[Verse 1] It's off, it's on The party's just begun Take off, and run Let's celebrate the fun of being young I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna grow up
[Pre-Chorus] 'Cause when the lights come on You lift me up, and I feel strong
[Chorus] I won't be right without you And I might break without you I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone I'll write hit songs about you No matter how, we'll get through I'll keep on singing while I'm living, but I wanna be in love And I wanna be with you This one's for you
[Pre-Chorus] And I hear you scream, I hit the top of the stage And close my eyes, and know exactly who I am Oh-oh
[Chorus] And I won't be right without you And I might break without you I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone I'll write hit songs about you No matter how, we'll get through I'll keep on singing while I'm living, but I wanna be in love And I wanna be with you This one's for you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus] I won't be right without you And I might break without you I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone I'll write hit songs about you No matter how, we'll get through I'll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love And I, I wanna be with you This one's for you
