Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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)

I'm gonna shout it everyday (GLORIA)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah




Looks so good (GLORIA) alright
Just so good (GLORIA) alright, yeah

@BigSmoke-bu6ib

You should edit the title to say Amboy Dukes "Gloria"

This was recorded during the Migration sessions and never released until this compilation. That's Rusty Day on lead vocals btw RIP

@CideEffexOriginal

Ya know, I thought about that when I uploaded it but figured since it was on a Nugent CD I'd just let it ride. But in retrospect it seems proper acknowledgement is due the band. Good call. -_-

@BigSmoke-bu6ib

@@CideEffexOriginal thanks for uploading, this track is not easy to find. What a solid band these guys were and VERY underrated
