Gloria

Lyrics

Like to tell ya about my baby

You know she comes around

She about five feet four

A-from her head to the ground

You know she comes around here

At just about midnight

She make ya feel so good, Lord

She make ya feel all right

And her name is G-L-O-R-I

G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)

G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)

I'm gonna shout it all night (GLORIA)

I'm gonna shout it everyday (GLORIA)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

She comes around here

Just about midnight

Ha, she make me feel so good, Lord

I wanna say she make me feel alright

Comes a-walkin' down my street

When she comes to my house

She knocks upon my door

And then she comes in my room

Yeah, an' she make me feel alright

G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)

G-L-O-R-I-A (GLORIA)

I'm gonna shout it all night (GLORIA)

I'm gonna shout it everyday (GLORIA)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Looks so good (GLORIA) alright

Just so good (GLORIA) alright, yeah
