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
