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.

They built you a temple and locked you away,

Oh, but they never told you the price that you 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,

Oh, but that never hurt no one.



So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,

Send up a signal. I'll throw you a line.

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind

Never lets in the sun,

Darlin' only the good die young

Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo

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

Mmmmm, 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 ooh



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,

Ya know that only the good die young

Ho ho ho 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.

Ohh,she never cared for me,

Did she ever say a prayer for me?

Oh oh ohh



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

Ya know that only the good die young

Tell ya baby

Ya know that only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good

Only the good die young

Whoo whoo whoo whoo whooo....
