ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

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 They showed you a statue and told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away But they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done... Only the good die young Thats 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 But that never hurt no one 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 Darling only the good die young 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 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 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 Oh baby 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 She never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? 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 You know that only the good die young Telling you baby You know that only the good die young Only the good die young Only the good Only the good die young
