Patti Smith Gloria Lyrics

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Melting 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 move in this here atmosphere where 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
Humping on the parking meter
Leaning 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 make her mine

Put my spell on her, here she comes
Walking down the street, here she comes
Coming through my door, here she comes
Crawling up my stair, here she comes
Waltzing 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 make her mine

Then I hear this knocking on my door, hear this knocking on my door
And I look up into the big tower clock and say
oh my God here's midnight!
And my baby is walking through the door leaning on my couch
And 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 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 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 chiming 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 we 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 her mine made her mine
Made her mine made her mine made her mine made 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
I said

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.
