Harry Belafonte - Gloria lyrics

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 My belly does boil, I want you like a bad dose of castor oil You said you loved me but you lied My friend saw you with another guy And now you have me in a state With all the doubts you create Soon as I turned my back you were 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 wants 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 d**h we part Please don't try to break my heart I say stop all this stupidness darling and 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 loves a pool of mud
