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

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



Darling, only the good die young

Woah, woah, woah, woah

I tell you, 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

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, woah, woah

And they say there`s a Heaven

For those who will wait

Some say it`s better

Vut 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

Woah oh, baby, babe

I tell you only

The good die young

Only the good die young



You said your mother told you all

That I could give you was a reputation

Aw, she never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me



Oh, woah, woah

Come out, come out

Come out, Virginia

Don`t let me wait



You Catholic girls

Start much too late

But sooner or later

It comes down to fate

I might as well be the one



You know that

Only the good die young

Tell you, baby

You know that

Only the good die young

Only the good die young



Only the good

Only the good die young

Oooh, ooooh, oooh.......
