Only the good die young

Come out Virginia,

don't let me

wait

You

Catholic girls start

much too

late

Aw 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,

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

Aw 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

Woah Woah

Woah

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 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...

You know that only the good die

young

Oh woah

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

Aww 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

might as well be the

one,

You know that only the good die

young

I'm telling you

baby

You know that only the

good die

young Only the

good die

young

Only the

gooooooooooooooood

Only the

good die

young
