Gloria
Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria
Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria
You promised to marry me in the month of May
Now you try to run away, if it's the last thing I have to do
Gloria my darling I'm begging you
Please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
With all your faults, I want you like a long dose of Epsom salts
I'd like to be a bachelor
Before I met Gloria
I don't know what she did to me
Some people think I'm crazy
Some say it's the treatment, some say it's this and that
Some say she's a diplomat, I don't care what the case may be
Come darling let's join in matrimony
So please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
Me belly does boil, I want you like a bad dose of castor oil
You said you loved me but you lied
My friends saw you with another guy
And now you have me in a state
With all the doubts you create
Soon as I turned me back you was on the go
Gloria, girl, I tell you no, and I beg you not to forget
A promise to me is more than a debt
So please marry me Gloria, sweetheart, can't you see, Gloria?
You must understand, I want you like a cop want a wanted man
Gloria is my only girl
My only hope in this world
Give me your hand and say you do
Come back to me I'm telling you
I want you to have and hold until death we part
Please don't try to break me heart
I say stop all this stupidness, come darling let's seal it now with a kiss
Please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
You lovely flower bud, I love you like a pig love a pool of mud
Gloria
Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria
You promised to marry me in the month of May
Now you try to run away, if it's the last thing I have to do
Gloria my darling I'm begging you
Please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
With all your faults, I want you like a long dose of Epsom salts
I'd like to be a bachelor
Before I met Gloria
I don't know what she did to me
Some people think I'm crazy
Some say it's the treatment, some say it's this and that
Some say she's a diplomat, I don't care what the case may be
Come darling let's join in matrimony
So please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
Me belly does boil, I want you like a bad dose of castor oil
You said you loved me but you lied
My friends saw you with another guy
And now you have me in a state
With all the doubts you create
Soon as I turned me back you was on the go
Gloria, girl, I tell you no, and I beg you not to forget
A promise to me is more than a debt
So please marry me Gloria, sweetheart, can't you see, Gloria?
You must understand, I want you like a cop want a wanted man

Please marry me Gloria, darling, can't you see, Gloria?
You lovely flower bud, I love you like a pig love a pool of mud
