Lyrics
She's here tonight ♪ Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray Built you a temple and locked you away But they never told you the price that you pay 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 mighta 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 But that never hurt no one So come on, Virginia, show me a sign Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind Never let's in the sun And darlin', only the good die young That's what I said 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 Oh, 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-whoa-whoa 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 Darlin' you know only the good die young That's what I said Only the good die young Only the good die young ♪ You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation She never cared for me Did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh-whoa-whoa 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 wanna be the one 'Cause darlin' you know only the good die young That's what I said Only the good die young Only the good die young Only the good Only the good die young Ooh, ooh-hoo Ooh-hoo, hoo Thank you New York
