Only The Good Die Young Lyrics - Billy Joel

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 

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'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 the 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 

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, oh, oh 

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 oh oh, baby 

I tell ya, only the good die young 

Only the good die young 

You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation 

Oh, she never cared for me 

But did she ever say a prayer for me? 

Oh, oh, oh 

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 ya baby 

You know that only the good die young 

Only the good die young 

Only the good 

Only the good die young 

Wooh, wooh 

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo 

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo 

Only the good die young 

Only the good die young
