Lyrics:
Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
They showed you a statue and 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
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
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

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun." What a great line.
The irony is it's the sinners who cry and the saints who laugh.

@@fruticetum oh I'm the gullible one when clearly you believe in some form of higher power.
@@dantheman192 You've listened to the atheist left pushing this garbage. They want America to fail, and this is the way they do it.
Sang this song with my school's big band... We're a Presbyterian girls school... Almost caused a riot :D
Rock on, sister.
Amazing
nice
Omfg we sang Still Rock n Roll To Me wtfu with choir masters ??!!
@@Taheen93 hell yeah
I remember putting this on the turntable in about 1982 and my sister playing her flute along to it. Two years later she was gone to cancer aged 25 and this memory took on a whole new meaning.
I hope she had a good life even if it was cut short
What cancer
That sounds like a beautiful memory. Very sad for your loss.
Wow. Deep comment. My condolences
You might see her again in a new life
One time someone in my class said “I love Billy” and I said that I did too. They asked me my favorite song and I said that it was either Only the Good Die Young or Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. They were very confused, laughed and walked away. I then realized that they were talking about Billie Eilish. My Billy is better though ❤️
Lavender Hazel yes he is
Belly eyelash is overrated
and then everyone clapped right
billy on top boiiiiii billie isnt competition
My two favorite “Billy”s: Billy Joel and Billie Joe Armstrong.
OMG! I AM 67! 2024!! Was I really 20 years old when Billy entered my life? I CHERISH HIM more after 47 years!
I'm 35 and I finally can find meaning in the songs I grew up listening to as clueless as I was.
Me too lol
I remember hearing Captain Jack in the mid-70’s… the song really hit me hard and I’ve been hooked on Billy ever since.
U r still young sir … feel it from inside ….Till the last breath u r young
I am 54 and grew up with his music!
Hughie's got a good reason to like Billy Joel
U don't have to be 57 though... 🤔
Who doesn't like Billy Joel? I mean the doo wop revival era was pure crap but that wasn't really him. His originals stood the test of time
@@devinshaw4672 I get relentlessly mocked for liking Billy Joel because of that pure crap Doo wop revival era 😂
@@LisaMitchellGD I mean, everyone's got their tastes. ALL Doo wop is so f***** bogus imo. I'm a singer/guitar man that writes shitty music lmao but still I study what I like and what made a splash. Malt Shops suck, dresses with poodles and sh** 🙄 malt shop music did Not stand the test of time. I mean, those a**holes from that era grew up and threw my people in jail for plants and mushrooms. That's the people that put fire hoses on people that were peacefully protesting. F*** the 50s and country music shy of Willie
And imo, billy IDOL f***** his stuff All up when he started f***** w Mony Mony. Lol you know I make a valid point, don't fight it. I could strap someone to a chair and torture them with just playing Mony Mony using like a mere hour of replays. Jk
I've sang covers of chuck berry and Johnny cash and ray charles just bc it was all this one guitarist knew like in one era of my career lmao, but I refuse to sing doo wop ever. They can keep that s*** on the shelf For The Longest Time
Damn right
Here today because Henry Kissinger just died at the ripe old age of 100. Truly, only the good die young.
It took me a second to get this joke, I can’t lie
Oh thanks for such and unkind and unnecessary comments -- who do you think cares whether you liked Kissinger.
@@Mandolin1944 why even bother commenting. Go join Kissinger.
@@giancarlobruno5110 Kissy took young Catholic girl’s virginity?
So long. Hope he enjoyed his earthly life.
This song is like a secret nightmare for all parents with teenage daughters lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah except it’s laughable that 5 foot 5 Billy Joel sets himself up as the tough guy in this song. Not a very ‘dangerous crowd” exactly
And it’s funny because this song is Literally about Billy’s crush when he was a teenager.
@@fruticetum hey he landed christie brinkley, height don't matter here, amigo.
@@fruticetum your insecurities are showing.
So glad The Boys is introducing people to Billy Joel, I'm Gen Z but this right here is top tier music and I'm glad he's getting recognition.
News flash he’s been getting recognition
I'm Gen Z, too and I love Billy Joel's music.
Your name is Gen Z?? Cool name you have pal
@@Pancake_Batter you're named Gen Z too??? That's odd
@@metalcrown_1182 yeah, I really dunno what my parents were thinking
My friend who was 18 years old and my neighbor, just passed away. Billy Joel was his favorite. Piano man was his favorite song but, this one just felt right to comment on.
Rest forever in peace Jesse, I will miss your kind smile. ❤️
RIP
@@putgodfirst1192 may he rest easy.
Rip 😢
How did your neighbor/friend die?
Rip ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a Catholic girl and I can relate to this song! Absolutely love the lyrics. Billy tells it as it is. Thank God for Confession. Life is funny.
Sure is.
I was a catholic girl but no longer. I still love anything Billy Joel.
Lol...me too. I had my Confirmation the same year this album came out, I was 13.
I bought the album but wouldn't play it when Mom was home.
I'm still Catholic and still feel a bit guilty for loving this brilliant song.
God has a sense of humor though.
Confession does no good if you keep doing it
I've dated public schooled gals, which was good, but if you want great, only a Catholic school gal will do!
My Italian catholic grandmother was in an absolute rage when this song came out 😂
I can see that lol. The song is about trying to talk “Virginia” (virgin) into letting him have sex with her and losing her virginity.
Based grandmother
When you’re a catholic woman listening to this and enjoying every bit of it!
When you're a lil 8 year old Catholic girl named Virginia, it helped me "fit" into my name a bit better, lol. It's still formal & I really don't like it, but Billy helped 💜
Yep! My dad hates this song lol. I think that's one of the reasons I like it.
Ur picture look likes ur a sumo
Loooooooool sumo karen
@@tempernotfound4936 who hurt you?
My brother's last visit with me he borrowed this album
We found this album on his turntable
He was killed 2 months later
A sweet soul in heaven
Guess he knew something
Miss him he was only 19
Q
Virginia was a real girl that Billy had a crush on. according to one of his interviews
Mi yigolo Virginia amiga
Sooner or later, it comes down to fate
Yet we always thought it was just a clever synonym for "virginity."
💋
Jordan- McArthur I went to a school a Catholic school in the 70s . US 8th grades were drinking beer
if i live really long i want somebody to play this song at my funeral
Some random Douche bag me to

@@cameronbaliles7110 Sometimes you can't help but laugh (and shake your head) at people's previous UA-cam usernames! 🤦♀
My grandma plays piano and organ for funerals and she got a request for this song once. It horrified her WASP sensibilities but she played it anyway, grateful it was an instrumental version. It went over well. I say do it.
At 16..I'm 62 now...a Best friend of ours... Robbie died while driving in the Fall/Raining at 1 or 2 am. This was out then...he was the nicest of our large pack. So...Only the Good Die Young hit me Hard. Will Always be a Treasured song for me
Yeah, a place with no war, sickness or crime isn't better than this earth we're living on. Ok, Billy...
He said sin, not crime.
The GREATEST LINE EVER WRITTEN!!!!!! And I was a catholic school girl!!!!
Gotta admire him for having the stones to release this in 1977. Today no one would bat an eye 😄
Lyrics:
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
I tell you 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
Oh baby, I tell you 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?
Wo-wo-wo
Come out, come out, come out, Virginia , don’t let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young
I tell you baby, you know that
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Oh whoo
Only the good die young
Only the good die young……
For deaf people ?

As a former Roman Catholic, this song touches my soul.
Nightmares Wayfare
Fellow former Roman Catholic. Enlightenment is nice.
Yes
Still a catholic - just not a tight ass
am a catholic but not too religious
this song absolutely slaps
I’m just a non-denomination Christian.
But his song still slaps harder than mama.
I grown up listen to Billy Joe it's was one of my best friends songs he was the sun drop kid. In town kool as hell. He left us at a young age. Rip terry you iin heaven
My friend Terry elders he left us at a young. He had a good heart. Rip terry now you with Jesus looking down at us saying come on join us beatiful up in heaven
We all Love you always thinking of you.
Love how jangly and upbeat this tune is.
That was one of the greatest lines ever written, I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...
I was a catholic school girl in high school when this song came out. I listened to it every day and my mom loved it too! I bought Billy Joel's album The Stranger and all of his other albums. He is such a talent and his music still moves me ro this day
As a Catholic convert, yes. All true. Thinking of leaving the church, the church frowns on smiling.
Bro you should convert to Baptism it's not strict at all. Being happy and smiling is a great thing btw don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You should do whatever you feel is best for you, whether that be leaving the church or staying
I’m a huge rap fan and that’s all I’ve ever listened to and I’m turning 14 listening to this album for the first time, I love this😋
I'm 14 too! Thank god i found another person with good taste in music.
@@user-ug2fu8mj2j wtf same....
Yo you too
Just bought this record for $1 at a flea market! (:
Kelly Silva nice I got it for a 💵 at my local record shop! 😀💳💰
Fantastic choice ide say you have amazing taste in music
I wasn't even a huge billy joel fan, hardly knew that so many songs i knew were by him. Bought this record for 3 bucks, loved every song on it, and have been listening to it for months almost daily. It was the luckiest find of my life. This record, and billy joel, are absolutely fantastic.
The Stranger is Billy's best album. No question about it. Billy Joel's favorite song that he wrote is on The Stranger.
Must be scratched as hell.
I grew up listening to Billy Joel. It always brings back good memories. This was my mom's favorite song. R.I.P., mom. I love you. K.E.L. ~ 11/16/1954 - 7/19/2019
R.I.P
This was my moms favorite Billy Joel song to she passed last year. I’ve probably listened to this song 10,000 times since she died.
@@jimmyhoughtaling3839 R.I.P
@@jimmyhoughtaling3839 She had great taste
Your mom had a great taste in favorite songs💗
I've loved Billy Joel for a very long time. And I have passed on my love of him to my children.
I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classic compositions ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
He was my dads favorite
That's wonderful! I'm so happy that your children have come to appreciate Billy Joel as well! ❤❤
My 7 year old nephew likes him, I catch him randomly singing this song...that's my boy 🥰
my dad introduced me to Billy’s music in the 70’s. RIP Brian S James, loved & missed daily xoxx
One of my mother's brothers had a fling with the "Wildest" girl in town who remembered she was a Devout Catholic when he got her pregnant.
Rest in Peace, Charlie! Best father in law ever. You were taken way too soon at 41 years old. I’ll be 40 in two months.. really puts things into perspective. Your wife and kids loved this song that I chose for your memorial… your siblings were appalled. You would have loved it! Wish you were still around to have met your grandkids- you’d have made a hell of a grandpa.. and no doubt your whole family would still be all together. Love and miss ya.
“Said ya Mama told you all that I give you was a reputation, She never cared for me, Did she ever say a prayer for me?....Noo ooh ooh”
That's about the only line in that song that made sense.
Thr BEST of Bllly Joel
Us catholic girls loved this, it was our snthem!
Coming from another Catholic girl, I have to agree. Almost 70 now and I still love Billy. My favorite song. Used to make Sister Joachim crazy. God bless her soul.
I just found out that a student I worked with at my local school just died in a terrible car accident. He was only 19 years old. It’s true…only the good die young. 😔
R.I.P. James. A good friend I lost friday night. He was a fun loving Man who had a heart of gold. Ride high cowboy. ❤🙏
Better a heart of gold than a cross of gold.
RIP Doug Gasoway!!! You died at 21 in 1981. My brother i love you. Your face is still crystal clear to me. You gave me so many smiles. My memories of you are a gift. I love you brother.
This is a nice sentiment but I'm not sure it's great on a UA-cam comment section. My condolences for your brother, though.

Such a great line. So cynical, so nihilist. All your dreams of morality and superiority and goodness will be gone at the whim of chance, that one time when you decided "Eh, let's go for it." I love it haha
hehe every parents nightmare for their kids
Still no idea why this song is called "only the good die young" and not "come on virginia(don't make me wait)"
@@jonspeidel He’s saying that good people essentially die and waste their youth and vitality locked in there unshakable moral framework. The bad ones survive physical youth by living their lives to the fullest.

favorite song... billy is the best
I agree, it is his best. Some other's pretty close, though.
Izzy Wizzy Sorry I went to grade school all Nun teachers. IT was crazy we had to go to Church 1 on week. BUY them time 8th grade the boys went crazy a girl looked like Steavie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. We were 70s kids, crazy we were going to concerts at 12 years old. Us kids were nuts drinking beer at 12 years old. That girl looked like Steavie Nicks, turned out to be IRISH like me. It sucks most people think all IRISH are drunks. I admit us IRISH are Different born with RED HAIR & Freckles. Us IRISH need to be careful in the Sun our skin burns easily. IRISH GIRLS are just like us guys they beat u up. Being IRISH isnt fun I became a big Beer Drinking. Went to lots of 70s concerts & Football games. IRISH GIRLS are fun they like to drink to drink like us guys.
Never heard a Billy Joel song that wasn't awesome. This man can do no wrong.
You know I'm mostly into punk, rap and alt rock. But every night I turn off the lights and just listen to Billy Joel, sit in my bed for a while and just think about life. I look out my window and I just stare at the moon, let the music sink into my brain. I relate to his music more so than any other artist. I'm at my most introspective when I turn on his music.
Then maybe you’re less into punk etc. than you admit to yourself?
@@craigeverhart4755 no you cam have variety. I like this. But i also like punk/grunge/deathcore/pornoise/pornogrind/harsh noise wall/slam/black metal/hentaigrind and many other extreme metal genres. But i still like billy joel and other classic rock/metal bands. Rock and metal are part of some of us. At least for me since the 90s
@@seikoofu2595 bro listed all the music under the sun 💀
When this song came out back in the day the Catholic Church used to have a list of television shows songs generally things that they didn't want Catholic exposed to. This song was the top of the list
Although I'm not Catholic (they're pretty messed up), it's not hard to understand why.
You didn’t count on me! When you were countin’ on your rosary!!! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
What a line 😂😂
When ever I hear this song I think of my mom she was so amazing and died at the age of 43 and I was just 10(I am 12 now) I also think of Cameron Boyce he made me happy through all the tough times in my life to this day Jessie is one of my favorite shows. Rip mom and Cameron and your legacies will live ❤️❤️❤️
Live on sorry. ❤️❤️

Sorry for your loss. 💐✝
My favorite Billy Joel song. I love the lyrics and the beat. And the memories.

The lyrics to this song are nothing short of genius!
man, billy has such under appreciated songs. this is fantastic!
With great lyrics and rhythm, this song is not only true but immortal with its catchy wording.
I was Confirmed the year this came out, 13 years old in 1977.
In still Catholic and still love this song. God has a sense of humor.
I used to think the song is bittersweet, but just start realizing it could also meant that the good ones die as a young person even at their old age.
this song is amazing every time I hear this song gives me goosebumps and makes me so happy and I want to be young again
The best Version of this song thangs all lot greetings from good old germany moe
"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain." Harvey been listening to some Billy Joel?
If only Harvey had died in the explosion, he would've died a hero. But he lived long enough to see himself become the villain two-face.
Timeless song!... On the RADIO in NZ in 2022... I seen Billy Joel in concert here in NZ in the 80's...he is coming back to👍🎵🇳🇿
Seen him Saturday night, it was truly amazing in Auckland
Only the young die good.

My FAVORITE Billy Joel song EVER!!!!!
I LOVE your music, & will NEVER stop listening to ALL your songs!!!!!!
Love you guys too ❤❤❤❤❤
I have loved billy Joel for the longest time.
Fantastic song from one of Hicksville's own...
Great song
She had a nice white dress and a party on her confirmation ... Your mother said the only thing I could give you was a reputation 😊
Heavens better Billy😊
What a talent his musical abilities along with fab lyrics leave others trailing after him
Love love 💓💓
This came out in 1977 when I was 13, the year I was Confirmed as a Catholic.
Went through 12 years of Catholic schools. I would dance around to this song in my room. I wouldn't play this album though when Mom was home.
I did and still feel a bit guilty for loving this song. From a huge Catholic family, I'm still Catholic but I believe God has a sense of humor.
This is such a brilliant song and so catchy. Love the piano at 2:58
Billy Joel used to be Catholic but is now an atheist. That's really sad.
With everything going on in the world today, the famine, the illnesses, the wars the prophesies in the Bible are coming to fruition. I'm so grateful I was born when I was. The 60's and 70's were fantastic times to be a kid. Pure and innocent. Nothing like kids have to deal with today. My heart goes out to them, honestly.
As awesome as this song is, older I get, I'd much rather cry with the Saints. I don't see much laughing happening hanging out with ghouls like Putin and Hitler.
As much as we all love this song, it's just a fun song. Don't take it too seriously.
Still love this song though.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Glory to the heroes 💙💛💪💪💪
I hate what has been done to those beautiful people. They are good, earth people who respect all of God's creation.
I'd rather spend eternity with them and my loved ones.
I refused to do confirmation and never went to church again.
I'm a confirmed Agnostic.
Prophesy in the Bible coming to fruition? War? Disease? As long as humans believe in eye for an eye instead of turn the other cheek there will always be war, and diseases. But the more developed we become based on our common interests of survival. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness the better off we all will be. You talk of putin being evil but he is the one who is using beliefs In the Bible as a way to influence people in the west to support his land grab because he doesn't want the west's influence on his country like it has influenced Ukraine. Every human being has the right to exist and live their life free of religion if they so choose. In this song Billy Joel is talking about sex before marriage not genocide. I think we can agree genocide isn't comparable to curiosity and fooling around as a teenager? Pre marital sex? Or even affairs? Surely you aren't comparing the two. This is where religion really turns me off. I doubt you will ever see Billy Joel laughing with putin.
One of the best pop songs ever written
For my sweet mother-in-law. The good Catholic girl Josephine. She did die young, and we miss her dearly.
Sorry for your loss. 💐 But I don't think Joel meant this song to be complimentary.
@@nostalkingzone you had to know her. I cant explain it in internet comments.
@@DoyleHargraves I meant nothing against your MIL. I'm just highlighting that Joel's "message" throughout the entire song is for people to ignore God, get drunk, fornicate, do drugs and otherwise just kick up your heels and have a "good time," b/c if you don't (i.e., like your MIL), you'll either die literally (while still "young"); or "die" from a lack of (so-called) "fun" in your life. The philosophy seems to have worked out real well so far for Joel, anyway. 🙂/s It's up to you (and whoever else listens to his music) to discern whether they think he is dispensing wise, true advice; or not. 😎
I love you sis!! You died wayyy too young !! Soo true only the good dieeee young!! I loveee youuu 😭🙌🏼 sinners are much more fun!! For sure!!
🌹🪦🌹
I like the, did she ever say a prayer for me?
So many ppl automatically dislike instead of try to help.
After a lifetime of serial marriages, depression and substance abuse, though, I have to wonder if Billy has wised up since he wrote that little ditty.
Thanks Hughie Campbell
So well written - my fav album from him - he is a true artist
😄😄I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 the song but when last did you play it
Hmmm, I could really go for a *Fresca* right about now.
One of my childhood best songs 😇
I’m a devout Catholic and I love this song
This has been my motto for years and although, yes, I had "heard" the song a time or two in my 32 years of life, I had never really heard heard Billy Joel until a few weeks ago. I was immediately angry at the uncles that raised me on classic rock and roll. Never had they played me Billy Joel while explaining to me why he was one of the greats. Possibly even the GOAT. Needless to say, I've had my Billy Joel playlist on repeat for a month and a half. Lol.
@Billy Joel I know this comment didn't actually come from THE Billy Joel, but when I first saw the notification about the reply, I did get super excited. The extra cool part? It was my birthday! You're the best, Mr. Joel!

@@TopG-qy3dbAndrew tate hell yeah bro 😎✊🔥 and Billie Joe go great together while working out
This might be the best bridge in any song, ever.
I remember having to take confirmation classes , and then the big day my confirmation, girls at one side of the church and boys the other you were called up to take the body of Christ for the first time , and then could and had to use the confessional, we were all given by the nuns a confirmation medal and a silver chain with a holy Mary medallion blessed by the pope! Big celebration for the community! Happy days😉
I am sorry but that sounds like first communion, not confirmation.
One of the best musicians ever:)

Was a Catholic boy from age 0-teenager age Confirmed and Christened ! My Aunt's and Mother were good Catholic girls. In fact I still refer to my Aunt Julie as God Mum! This is dedicated to her and my Aunt's. Great artist, great song . The Stranger is probably B.J's best album or one of a lot of Billy Joel! This song gives me vivid images of what it is like to be a Catholic girl in the 1950's 60's and 70's.

this takes me back to a simpler time. as I am fighting cancer, and ready to just give in. I just self medicate to try to curb the pain. This music and some bourbon get me thru the pain.
I’ll pray for you Mr. Brian Brown
A Catholic girl ❤

This is one of those songs ever since I heard my senior year in high-school back in 2010 that has just never disappointed nor gotten old. What a golden gem!
