Gloria Lyrics – Patti Smith

Gloria Lyrics by Patti Smith

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’smidnight
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 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
