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 walk in a room, you know I look so proud
 I'm movin' in this here atmosphere
 Well, a-a-anything's allowed
 Then I go to this, here party but oh, 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 the door
 Here she comes crawlin' up the stair
 Here she comes in a pretty red dress, 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
 I hear this knockin' on my door, knockin' on my door
 And I look up into the big tower clock
 And say, "Oh my God, it's midnight!"
 And my baby is walkin' through the door
 Layin' on my couch, she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
 And oh, she was so good, ooh, oh, she was so fine
 And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine
 I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
 She whispered to me, she told me her name
 She told me her name, she told me her name
 She told me her name, 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, oh Gloria
 ♪
 It was at the stadium
 Oh, 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 chimin' 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 I 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 ya mine, made ya mine, made ya mine, made ya 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
 When the tower bells chime
 Ding-dong they chime
 I said that Jesus died
 For somebody's sins
 ♪
 But not mine
 London!
