Testo Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel
Testo della canzone Only the Good Die Young (Billy Joel), tratta dall'album The Stranger
Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Oh, 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
Oh, but they never told you the price that you'd pay
The 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've 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
Oh, 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
Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You've 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, whoa-whoa
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
And 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
Whoa, baby
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Oh, she never cared for me
Oh, did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh, whoa-whoa
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 be the one
You know that only the good die young
Tell you, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
