I was out stumbling in the rain

Staring at your lips so red

You said, "Blah, blah, blah,

I got a pillow stuck in my head"

How could I argue with a mirror?

She looked at me —

Yes, I hear her.

When I see the glory

I ain`t gotta worry

When I see the glory

I ain`t gotta worry

She said, "There's a halo on that truck,

"Won't you please get it for me?"

I said, "Of course my little swan,

"If ever and ever you adore me."

She got mad —

She said, "you're too steep,"

Put on her boxing gloves and went to sleep

When I see the glory

I ain`t gotta worry

When I see the glory

I ain`t gotta worry

When I see the glory...
