[Intro]

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine

Melting in a pot of thieves, wild card up my sleeve

Thick, heart of stone, my sins, my own

They belong to me

Me

People said beware, but I don't care

Their words are just rules and regulations to me

Me


[Verse 1]

I walk in a room, you know I look so proud

I move in this here atmosphere where anything's allowed

Then I go to this here party and I just get bored

Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing

Humping on a parking meter, leaning on the parking meter

Oh, she looks so good

Oh, she looks so fine

And I've got this crazy feeling that I'm going to, ah-ah, make her mine


[Verse 2]

Oh, I'll put my spell on her, here she comes

Walking down the street, here she comes

Coming through my door, here she comes

Crawling up my stair, here she comes

Waltzing through the hall in a pretty red dress

And oh, she looks so good

Oh, she looks so fine

And I've got this crazy feeling that I'm going to, ah-ah, make her mine


[Verse 3]

Then I hear this knocking on my door, hear this knocking on my door

And I look up to the big tower clock and say "oh my God, it's midnight"

And my baby is walking through the door laying 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 going to tell the world that I just, ah-ah, made her mine


[Pre-Chorus]

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 -


[Chorus]

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)


[Verse 4]

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 chiming in my heart going

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong

Calling the time when 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've got to tell the world that I made ya mine, made ya mine

Made her mine made ya mine made her mine made ya mine


[Chorus]

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)


[Bridge]

When the tower bells chime

Ding-dong they chime

I said that Jesus died

For somebody's sins

But not mine


[Chorus]

(Gloria)

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)

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)

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)

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