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
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 pay
The 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
Oh, you might
Have 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
That stained glass
Curtain you're
Hidin' behind
Never lets in the sun,
Darlin', only the good
Die young,
Wohwohwoh,
Only the good
Die young,
Only the good
Die young
You've got a nice
White dress
And a party on
Your Confirmation
You've got a
Brand new soul,
Ooh, and a
Cross of gold
That's a pity they
Didn't give you
Quite enough
Information
You didn't
Count on me,
You were countin'
On your rosary
Whoah, 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,
Whoah, baby
I tell ya, only the good
Die young,
Only the good
Die young
Say your mother
Told you all that
I could give you
Was a reputation
Whoah, she never
Cared for me,
Did she ever say
A prayer for me?
Whoah, whoah, whoah
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,
Only the good
Die young,
Only the good
Die young,
Only the good
Die young,
Only the good
Die young,
Oohhhhh,
Oohhhhhh,
