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 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
