If Only The Good Die Young
Lyrics By La Belle Rouge
I’d like to go to heaven
But I don’t wanna go today
I wanna live forever
But I’m tired of livin this way
Things don’t get no better
And when all is said and done
I must be a little wicked
If only the good die young
If only the good die young
Then I aint been no saint
If only the good die young
I waited way too late
I’d like to go to Heaven
But I aint sure I’d wanna stay
If you havta be holy all the time
Well, Hell, there’s just no way
And if only the good die young
Then to me that don’t apply
Cause I’m too much of a devil
To be an angel when I die
Songs about the sweet by and by
Not the nasty here and now
I gave up trying to be good
Cause I just don’t know how
And if only the good die young
Then I aint been no saint
If only the good die young
I waited way too late
:))))))))... the way these lyrics just so easily, classily roll of yer tongue, i gotta believe it, Darlin! Fabulous swing-along rhythm and tight rhymes makes this ass-slappin good and i just LOVE the last verse... yep, waited waaaaaaaaay too late and don't intend to start now! Ever seen an angel with her halo round her knees... ???!!!!!! No, me neither, but praps that's a good place for it... save any mishaps... !! LOL xx
An angel going Michelob brew and Marlboros, that's my kind of gal! (LOL)
Now, goody-goody ones never were fun to start with, always that little devils wagging their little fanny were those that got all the attention!
Tell Fee to put a tune to it and you two will have a winner.
WOW! Every reader will be a sure captive of your song/poem, Belle. If I were a composer or an arranger, i'd put a lively melody to it, something fast and danceable, or have Justin Timberlake rap it... :)
Catchy and meaningful lyrics.
Last night I watched a CD bio on Bob Dylan and there was a clip of Webb Pierce singing "There Stands the Bottle." Your poem would be a great substitute. Well done.
Ha! I like this one LaBelle. Yah, that old flesh just woos us sometimes don't it? love that pic! i wonder if she likes scotch? I'll pass on the ciggies though. YUK! Incidentally, I really like your nom de plume: "Poetess of the Heart" - it really suits you!
Big smootch blessings ...

Love THIS SONG BELLE and I have the Wicked Angel picture!!! I Wrote a song similiar about being Bad and not having enough, so "I" sure can relate! The moral of the story (in my opinion) is: If Your spirit feels it!, go with it! Now, as I was saying" if being Good leads you to heaven, then what fun am I portraying, Down each road I will turn as I feel my skin begin to burn! If only the Good die young. Then I did too much wrong, I could fill a rap song. And..Btw I can hear yours in a Rap or Party song! Sung by Lady Gaga or Little Kim! Or even Shakira!
How about another...
Excellent!
Blessings of love! Peace and Harmony, SOULFUL_PurplePaSsionsSHEEoxxo Being Bad is Good!
Dolly! Send it to Dolly! That's a great song, can hear the music :) xx

Why apologize for something you like? You should be proud of it.
The poem is after my own heart and way of thinking. I have come to the conclusion that religion is merely mind control, plus picking your pockets. You can be spiritual without being religious.
The words to this would appeal to many if set to music and recorded by someone with clout. Do you ever try to interest some of the singers with your lyrics?
