But sooner or later, it comes down debate.
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
Come on, come on, come on, Virginia
Don't laminate.
Come out, come out, come out, Virginia
Don't let me wait.
Did Chrissie Evert say a prayer for me?
Did she ever say a prayer for me?
I'll throw you the line
the stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind and epaulettes in the sun
and only the good die
I'll throw you the line
the stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind never lets in the sun
and only the good die
Mouth to mouth to mouth Virginia don't let me wait
Come out, come out, come out Virginia don't let me wait
Mouth to mouth to mouth, Virginia
Don't let me wait.
Come out, come out, come out, Virginia
Don't let me wait.
Only the good di-al
Only the good die young
Only the good die yon.
Only the good die young.
Only the good diode
Only the good die young
Only the good ti-yums (times)
Only the good die young
Only the good tie 'um.
Only the good die young.
Only the good times
Only the good die young
Only the good tires
Only the good die young
Our height is where we'll be the one.
I might as well be the one.
The stained glass curtain you're hiding behind
The neverlets in the sun.
That stained glass curtain you're hinding behind
It never lets in the sun.
When you were counting on your ovaries
When you were counting on your rosary
When you were counting on your ovaries
When you were counting on your rosary
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to bait.
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate.
You got a nice white dress and a potty on your confirmation.
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
You never thought of me
When you considered trying sodomy.
You never thought of me
When you were counting on your rosary.
You said your mother Tolleoli I could give you was a reputation
You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Come out, Regina
Come out, Virginia
Only the Third Eye Blind
Only the good die young
Only the dudes
Only the good
Sooner or later it comes to debate
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
