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 x2
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
Aw 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
(Woah x5 )
I tell ya
Only the good die young x2 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/billy_joel/only_the_good_die_young.html ]
You got a nice white dress and a party on your Confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmmm, 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, X2
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 don't 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
I'm telling you baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Ooo ooo ooo...

I am now becoming very strong in my catholic faith, and yet this song remains probably my favorite song of all times. When i didn't really believe what the church was telling me i listened to this song and fist pumped my opposition to those around me basically saying that billy joel is right, what the heck lets live our lives. Now, as a strong catholic, i listen to this song and think to myself... Rock on virginia. She's not fooled by the devil tugging at her feet, but remains an awesome catholic because she knows the true meanings behind the excuses to "come out" being thrown at her. I love it!

I believe that only people that have had a good life and lived if to the full die young because the people that die old have not lived their life to their full. Or they are still needed on earth so god chooses to keep them alive.

The "pure ones" or the goody two shoes of the world die young because eventually something will come along and "kill" them so to speak. Something they never planned on. Such as sex.
