PATTI SMITH lyrics : "Gloria"

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 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, 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 .
