Only the Good Die Young

Lyrics

Come out Virginia, don't let 'em wait
 You Catholic girls start much too late
 Aw! But sooner or later it comes down to fate
 Oh I might as well be the one
 Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
 They built you a temple and locked you away
 Aw! But they never told you the price that you'd pay
 For things that you might have done
 Only the good die young
 That's what I said!
 Only the good die young
 Only the good die young
 You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
 We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
 We might be laughing a bit too loud
 Aw! But that never hurt no one
 So come on Virginia show me a sign
 Send up a signal and I'll throw you the line
 The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
 Never lets in the sun
 Darlin' only the good die young
 Woah!
 I tell ya
 Only the good die young
 Only the good die young
 You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
 You got a brand new soul
 Mmm, and a cross of gold
 But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
 You didn't count on me
 When you were counting on your rosary
 (Oh woah woah)
 They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
 Some say it's better but I say it ain't
 I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
 The sinners are much more fun
 You know that only the good die young
 I tell ya
 Only the good die young
 Only the good die young
 You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
 Aw! She never cared for me
 Did she ever say a prayer for me?
 oh woah woah
 Come out come out come out Virginia don't let me wait
 You Catholic girls start much too late
 Sooner or later it comes down to fate
 I might as well be the one
 You know that only the good die young
 Tell ya baby!
 You know that only the good die young
 Only the good die young
 Only the good
 Only the good die young
