Come out, Virginia-
Don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Ah! But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well will be the one
Well they showed you a statue-
Told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Ah! But 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 mighta heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughin' a bit too loud
Ah! 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 hidin' behind-
Never lets in the sun...
Darlin' only the good die young!
Oh woe woe woe woe!
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've got a brand new soul
Mmm, 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 woe woe!
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...
You know that only the good die young!
Oh woe woe baby bay!
I tell ya only the good die young!
Only the good die young...
Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation!
Ah! She never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh woe woe!
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 might as well be the one...
You know that only the good die young!
Tell ya baby!
You know that only the good die young!
Only the good die young
Only the gooood!
Only the good die young
Oo oo oooo
Oo!
Oo oo oo oo
Oooo oo!
Oo oo oo
Oo!
Oo oo oo oo
Oooo oo!
Oo oo oooo
Oo!
Oo oo oo oo
Oooo oo!
Only the good die young!
Only the good die young...
