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....
