Only The Good Die Young

Doesn't anyone care for an old, old, man?
One who, was kind, just looking for friends?
It seems like when you're good, it'll shorten the end.
Only the good die young.

He had a lot of people, who took their turn,
using up what he had, and letting him burn,
and now that he's gone, what lesson did they learn?
Only the good die young.

If you give love freely, they'll throw it away,
Making sure that you know, you're not worth the time of day,
They will leave you not knowing, cause they don't want to say.
Only the good die young.

Stupid, foolish, lonesome, old man,
Knew what was coming, tried to tell them what's planned,
But none of them would listen to his pleadings and,
Only the good die young.
