Come out Virginia, don't let me 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.....
For 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
But 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 woh - oh
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
Oh oh oh 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 only the good die young that's what I say
Only the good die young only the good die young

You say your mother told you all that I could
Give you was a reputa-tion
She never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh oh oh
