Lyrics of Gloria by Laura Branigan
verse
Gloria, you′re always on the run now
Running after somebody
You gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
Before you start to blow it
I think you′re headed for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
pre-chorus
You really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
chorus
Gloria, don't you think you′re fallin′?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin′?
You don't have to answer
Leave ′em hangin' on the line, oh-oh
Calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria)
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
That you′ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
verse
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha
Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line?
Or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money?
Take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slippin′ away
Don′t believe it's comin′ back soon
pre-chorus
And you really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
chorus
Gloria, don′t you think you're fallin′?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin'?
You don′t have to answer
Leave ′em hangin' on the line, oh-oh
Calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria)
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
That you′ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
outro
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Writer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi, Umberto Tozzi
