I Don't Wanna Live Forever

Bryan Adams · On A Day Like Today [1998]

All i want is a real fast car

wanna go to fast - i wanna go to far

I wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life

while the gettin's good and the time is right

i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up



I don't wanna live forever

I just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever



All i need is a good excuse

you can cut my reins and turn me loose

I'm gonna pull my weight i'm gonna push my luck

I'm gonna go down fightin when my time is up

you know i don't care - i'm gonna get my share



I don't wanna live forever

I just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever



I wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up

ya - I don't care i wanna get my share



I don't wanna live forever...
