Come out Virginia don't let me wait    Catholic girls start much too late    But sooner or later it comes down to fate    I might as well be the one       Well 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 you would pay    For things that you might have done       Only the good die young (4 times)       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 would never hurt no one       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       And only the good die young    Only the good die young (3 times)       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 never count on me, when you consider drive insane on me       They say there's a heaven for those who'll wait    Some say it's better but I say it ain't    I'd rather laugh with the butcher and cry with the saints    Smokers have much more fun       And only the good die young    Only the good die young (3 times)    Yeay!       You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation    She never cared for me, but did she ever say a prayer for me       Come out, come out, Virginia don't let me wait    Catholic girls start much too late    Sooner or later it comes down to fate    I might as well be the one       Only the good die young (4 times)       Only the good, yeah    Only the good die young (3 times)       Yeay! Yeay! Yeay! Yeay! Huh!
