Only the Good Die Young

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Oh, 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 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've 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 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 lets in the sun Darlin', only the good die young That 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, oh, 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 Darling you know that 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 She never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh, 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, it comes down to fate I might as well be the one Cause darling you know that only the good die young That what I said Only the good die young Only the good die young Only the good Only the good die young Wooh, wooh
