Текст Billy Joel — Only the Good Die Young

Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, 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
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
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

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

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

Only the good die young
Only the good die young

Said, your mother told you
«All that I could give you was a reputation»
Aw, she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?

Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later
It comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

Only the good die young
Only the good die young
You know that
Only the good die young
You know that
Only the good die young
Oh whoo
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
