Gloria lyrics

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine

Meltin' in a pot of thieves

Wild card up my sleeve

Thick heart of stone

My sins, my own

They belong to me, me

People say: "Beware!"

But I don't care

The words are just

Rules and regulations to me, me

I-I walk in a room

You know I look so proud

I'm movin' in this here atmosphere

Well, anything's allowed

And I go to this here party

And I just get bored

Until I look out the window

See a sweet young thing

Humpin' on the parking meter

Leanin' on the parking meter

Oh, she looks so good

Oh, she looks so fine

And I got this crazy feeling

And then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

Ooh I'll put my spell on her

Here she comes

Walkin' down the street

Here she comes

Comin' through my door

Here she comes

Crawlin' up my stair

Here she comes

Waltzin' through the hall

In a pretty red dress

And oh, she looks so good

Oh, she looks so fine

And I got this crazy feeling

That I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

And then I hear this knockin' on my door

Hear this knockin' on my door

And I look up into the big tower clock

And say: "Oh my God, here's midnight!"

And my baby is walkin' through the door

Leanin' on my couch

She whispers to me

And I take the big plunge

And oh, she was so good

And oh, she was so fine

And I'm gonna tell the world

That I just ah-ah made her mine

And I said: "Darling, tell me your name"

She told me her name

She whispered to me

She told me her name

And her name is

And her name is

And her name is

And her name is G-L-O-R-I-A

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

I was at the stadium

There were twenty thousand girls

Called their names out to me

Marie, Ruth

But to tell you the truth

I didn't hear them

I didn't see

I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock

And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart

Going ding dong, ding dong

Ding dong, ding dong

Ding dong, ding dong

Ding dong, ding dong

Counting the time

Then you came to my room

And you whispered to me

And we took the big plunge

And oh, you were so good

Oh, you were so fine

And I gotta tell the world

That I make her mine, make her mine

Make her mine, make her mine

Make her mine, make her mine

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

G-L-O-R-I-A, Gloria

And the tower bells chime

"Ding dong" they chime

They're singing

"Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine"

Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A (x14)
