Lyrics
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait Catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later, it comes down to fate And I might as well be the one They showed you a statue, and told you to pray They built you a temple and they locked you away They never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done Only the good die young, that's right Only the good die young Yeah, you heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud Might be laughing a bit too loud Aw, that never hurt no one So come on, Virginia, now 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 Only the good die young Said, that only the good die young You got a nice white dress And a party on your confirmation Oh, you got a brand-new soul Yeah, and a cross of gold Mmm, but Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information But you didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary, oh And 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 And only the good die young, that's right I say, mm, only the good die young There's a big question mark here 'Cause I don't like these part, mm ♪ You said your mother told you All that I could give you was a reputation Oh, she never cared for me Did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh, oh Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late But sooner or later comes down to fate And I wanna be the one You know that only the good die young, that's right I say don't you know Only the good die young, ah-huh, mm-da Only the good die young, oh, oh Only the good die young Only the good die young
