Gloria Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

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, any thing'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 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 uh, unh, 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 uh, unh, 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 I I, 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 and 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, 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
