'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 will 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 the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darling, only the good die young

Whoa whoa whoa whoa 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,
Mm, 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
Sinners are much more fun....
You know that only the good die young

Whoa whoa, baby
I tell you only the good die young
Only the good die young

SAXOPHONE SOLO

You say 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-oh-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 will be the one
You know that only the good die young

I tell you, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young

I love the energy of this song among other things. I was addicted to this song the first time I heard it (and that was only recently).

It is essentially about a guy trying to convince a Catholic girl to have sex with him but that doesn't make it a bad song! =P

This song is tits. Seriously.
