Gloria Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

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
