Want to tell about my baby
You know she comes around
About five foot four
From her head to the ground

Well, she comes around here
Just about midnight
She makes me feel so good

She makes me feel all right

And her name is G.L.O.R.I.A.
G.L.O.R.I.A. (Gloria)
G.L.O.R.I.A. (Gloria)
Shout it every day (Gloria)
Tell it every night (Gloria)

She come walking down my street
She come up to my house
Knocks upon my door
Then she comes into my room

You know she comes around here
Just about midnight
She makes me feel so good
She makes me feel all right

And her name is G.L.O.R.I.A.
G.L.O.R.I.A. (Gloria)
G.L.O.R.I.A. (Gloria)
Shout it every day (Gloria)
Tell it every night (Gloria)

She come walking down my street
She come up to my house
Knocks upon my door
She makes me feel all right

And her name is G.L.O.R.I.A.

Want to talk about it (Gloria)
Got to shout about it (Gloria)
