CAPO 5

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

Well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray

They built you a temple and locked you away

But they never told you the price that you pay

For things that you might have done

Only the good die young

Thats 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

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, 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 got a brand new soul, 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

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 woah baby

i tell ya only the good die young

only the good die young

Instrumental:

You say your mother told you all that I could give you

was a reputation

Aww She never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me?

oh woah woah

Come out come out come out virgina dont 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
