lyrics | learn to sing Only The Good Die Young (The Boys)

Come out, Virginia. Don't make me wait your capital the girls are much too late

Ah, but sooner or later you come down to faith. I might as well be the one

Well, they showed you a statue told you to pray they built you a temple

They locked you away. Ah, but they never told you the price that you pay for things that you might have done

Lonely the good die young

That's what I said, only the good die young, only the good die young.

You might have heard that 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 your sign Send up a signal, I thought you were lyin'

The stained glass curtain you're hidin' behind Never let in the sun

Darlin', only the good die young Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

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, hmm, and a cross of gold

Oh, but Virginia, they didn't give you

Quite enough information

You didn't count on me

When you were counting on your rosary

Whoa, whoa, they say there's a heaven

For those who will wait

You 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, baby

I tell you, only the good die young

Only the good die young

Said your mother told you all that I could give you

Was a reputation

She never cared for me, but did she ever say a prayer for me?

Oh, come out, come out, come out, Virginia, don't make me wait.

You Catholic girls are much too late.

Sooner or later comes down the fate.

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 die young, only the good die young, only the good

die young.

Only the good die young, only the good die young, only the good die young, only the good

die young, only the good die young.
