Only The Good Die Young
by Billy Joel


Come out Virginia - don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Ah 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
Ah 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
Ah but that never hurt no one

So come on Virginia - show me a sign
Send up a signal - I'll throw you a line
That stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin' only the good die young

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...

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

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
Ah she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh...

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

I'm telling you baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young...
