Only the Good Die Young (Alternate Version)

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
Catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later, it comes down to fate
And I might as well be the one

They showed you a statue, and told you to pray
They built you a temple and they locked you away
They never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done

Only the good die young, that's right
Only the good die young

Yeah, you heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
Might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, that never hurt no one

So come on, Virginia, now show me a sign
Send up a signal, and I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun

Only the good die young
Said, that only the good die young

You got a nice white dress
And a party on your confirmation
Oh, you got a brand-new soul
Yeah, and a cross of gold
Mmm, but Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
But you didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary, oh

And 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

And only the good die young, that's right
I say, mm, only the good die young

There's a big question mark here
'Cause I don't like these part, mm

You said your mother told you
All that I could give you was a reputation
Oh, she never cared for me
Did she ever say a prayer for me? 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 comes down to fate
And I wanna be the one

You know that only the good die young, that's right
I say don't you know
Only the good die young, ah-huh, mm-da

Only the good die young, oh, oh
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
