I've tried so hard to be the best that I can
But this one way love affair I don't understand
Making your way through the bars “give me one more drink”
All those dances and those one night romances led you to the brink
Still you go on living in another world one that I would never return to girl
Why try so hard, can't you see You can't keep going on, trying to be
Someone that you're not, look at me Gloria
Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria
Girl you've gone through so much now isn't time that you learn
That you can't keep playing games too many have been burned
Take us to Vegas don't let them make us put back the money
Bleached and tan stands her man Mr Denny
Can't you see that he is no good for you you love his money more than him, girl it's true
Why try so hard, can't you see You can't keep going on, trying to be
Someone that you're not, look at me Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria
And I've tried so hard to be the best that I can can't you see
And time will go on and you'll see that this love that you gave to me is no good
Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria
