Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : JOEL, BILLY
[00:15.240] Come out, Virginia. Don't let me wait.
[00:17.620] You Catholic girls start much too late,
[00:21.040] But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
[00:24.260] I might as well be the one.
[00:27.480] They showed you a statue, told you to pray.
[00:30.720] They built you a temple and locked you away,
[00:33.710] But they never told you the price that you pay
[00:36.820] For things that you might have done.
[00:40.710] Only the good die young.
[00:54.800] You might've heard I run with a dangerous crowd.
[00:57.830] We ain't too pretty. We ain't too proud.
[01:01.100] We might be laughing a bit too loud,
[01:03.960] But that never hurt no one.
[01:07.230] So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,
[01:10.610] Send up a signal. I'll throw you a line.
[01:13.710] The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
[01:16.680] Never lets in the sun,
[01:20.370] And only the good die young.
[01:34.760] You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
[01:40.590] You got a brand new soul
[01:43.400] And a cross of gold,
[01:47.170] But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information.
[01:52.790] You didn't count on me
[01:55.460] When you were counting on your rosary.
[02:00.010] They say there's a heaven for those who will wait.
[02:02.840] Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
[02:05.990] I'd rather laugh with the sinners then cry with the saints.
[02:09.370] Sinners are much more fun,
[02:12.420] And only the good die young
[02:40.040] You say your mother told you all that I could give you
[02:43.170] Was a reputation.
[02:46.310] She never cared for me,
[02:48.020] But did she ever say a prayer for me?
[02:52.200] Come out, Virginia. Don't let me wait.
[02:55.490] You Catholic girls start much too late,
[02:59.140] But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
[03:01.720] I might as well be the one.
[03:05.230] Only the good die young.
[03:12.150] And only the good die young.
