Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Oh, 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 Oh, but they never told you the price that you'd pay The 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've 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 Oh, 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

Darlin', only the good die young Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa 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, mm, 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, whoa-whoa

And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait And 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 Whoa, baby 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 Oh, she never cared for me Oh, did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh, whoa-whoa

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 you, baby You know that only the good die young Only the good die young

Only the good Only the good die young Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Only the good die young Only the good die young
