Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
I can not explain how you should begin
I can't give you up, it won't all cave in
There's no good way home, there's no place to rest
There'd no room down here for a pretty mess

You don't know it yet with your brand new kiss
You don't want to stay here and live like this
I wish I could do, oh, what would I be
If I can't for mine something better than me
