Patti Smith - Gloria lyrics

rate me

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 meme

People say 'beware!'

But I don't care

The words are just

Rules and regulations to meme

I-i walk in a roomyou know I look so proud

I'm movin' in this here atmospherewellanything's allowed

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

Until I look out the windowsee a sweet young thing

Humpin' on the parking meterleanin' on the parking meter

Ohshe looks so goodohshe 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 ohshe looks so goodohshe 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 ohshe was so good and ohshe was so fine

And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

And I said darlingtell me your nameshe told me her name

She whispered to meshe told me her name

And her name isand her name isand her name isand 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 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 timethen you came to my room

And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge

And oh. you were so goodohyou 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-ag-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
