[Verse 1]
You always beat me to the punchline
And the punch bowl at the party
Where you're first to dance and first to say, "Goodnight"
You're faster than I've ever been
And I love to see you win
It doesn't even make me sad
'Cause I don't mind coming in last
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die before you
Promise I'll be right behind
But I should be there to hold your hand
It's already been decided
I'll be here to say, "Goodbye"
Honey, I want you to understand
For better or for worse
I really hope you die first
[Verse 2]
I'll quit smoking every day
And I'll stop flying in airplanes
Yeah, I'll get inventive, I've got incentive, you make me wanna change
Don't you worry about me
We'll throw you a big ol' party
Then I'll light one up for you
And I will see you soon
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die before you
Promise I'll be right behind
But I should be there to hold your hand
It's already been decided
I'll be here to say, "Goodbye"
Honey, I want you to understand
For better or for worse
I really hope you die first
[Outro]
(I really hope you die—)
I don't wanna say this
But, if I don't make it
Please don't rush for me
I'll be waiting
