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
|
Well, they showed you a statue, 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, that¡¯s 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, 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¡¯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 woah woah
|
|
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, how am I doin¡¯, mom?
|
Only the good die young
|
|
U said your mother told U all that I could give U was a reputation
|
She never cared for me
|
But did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh woah woah
|
|
Come out come out come out Virgina 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
|
¡®Cos darlin¡¯ you know only the good die young, that¡¯s what I¡¯ll say
|
Only the good die young, only the good die young
|
Only the gooooooooooooooood, only the good die young
|
Woo ooh ooh, ooh ooh, woo ooh ooh ooooooh oooooh
|
