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 
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay 
For things that you might have done..... 
Only the good die young 
thats what i said 
only the good die young x2 

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 and I'll throw you the line 
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind 
(you know) 
Never lets in the sun 
darlin only the good die young 
woah 
i tell ya 
only the good die young x2 

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation 
You got a brand new soul 
mmmm, 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) 

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 
thats what i said 
i tell ya 
only the good die young, X2 


well 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 dont 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 
Only the gooooooooooooooood 
Only the good die young 
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo... 

(Only the good die young)x2
