Desculpe, babe
Não vou brincar com você
Desculpe, babe
Não vou mais ser joão-ninguém
Eu vou correndo
Buscar a glória, minha glória

Desculpe, babe
Mas eu já me decidi
Desculpe, babe
Eu vou viver mais pra mim
Eu vou correndo
Buscar a glória, minha glória

Glória, glória
Glória, glória
Glória, glória

Eu vou correndo
Buscar a glória, minha glória
Glória, glória
