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. And 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.
