Lyrics

Gloria, Gloria
It's not Marie
Gloria, it's not Sherie
Gloria, she's not in love with me
Well, can't you see
It's not Marie?
Gloria, it's not Sherie
Gloria, she's not in love with me
Well, maybe she'll love me
How am I to know
And maybe she'll want me
But how am I to know
Gloria, it's not Marie
Gloria, it's not Sherie
Gloria, she's not in love with me
Oh Gloria, it's not Marie
Gloria, it's not Sherie
Gloria, she's not in love with me
Gloria
