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

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
