Only The Good Die Young - Single Version

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 will 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'd 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 mighta 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

The stained glass curtain you're hidin' behind-

Never lets in the sun...

Darlin' only the good die young!

Oh woe woe woe woe!

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've got a brand new soul

Mmm, 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 woe woe!

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 woe woe baby bay!

I tell ya only the good die young!

Only the good die young...

Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation!

Ah! She never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me?

Oh woe woe!

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!

You know that only the good die young!

Only the good die young

Only the gooood!

Only the good die young

Oo oo oooo

Oo!

Oo oo oo oo

Oooo oo!

Oo oo oo

Oo!

Oo oo oo oo

Oooo oo!

Oo oo oooo

Oo!

Oo oo oo oo

Oooo oo!

Only the good die young!

Only the good die young...
