She would scoff off the drama inflicted against her, knowing she can defend herself with her looks since she's the prettiest one on campus. She relished the popularity she gained and the attention she garnered, being the hottie every guy wanted to have a chance at while winning Prom Queen in her class. Gentlemen, would you go out with a girl like Gloria? In the words of Simon Cowell, "it's a 'no' for me."įrom a male perspective, Gloria's mindset is still stuck in high school. The time he leaves her, Gloria absolving herself from her own failures dating-wise, continues her "I'm a hottie, so go ahead ask me out already because I know you want me" antics, making her look desperate and pushing herself to the next man she meets, regardless of patiently waiting for her "perfect" man. Because Gloria's ego is eating her up, she's also struggling in keeping the man deciding to court her. That last line, "Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon," is the hardest-hitting truth slammed in Gloria's face. (If any of you have/know someone like Gloria, take caution.) Gloria thinks she's all that huh? Branigan sung this song like she's about to break off her friendship with "Gloria" not being an influential partner in crime. If we go to the third line of that verse, asking Gloria marrying for the money or taking someone in the afternoon, tells me she's getting to the age where the idea of taking a "sugar daddy" seems like a possible option. Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?įeel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon" Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound? Honestly, if Gloria thinks she requires little effort to get attention from men, then why aren't men approaching and calling her? Nevermind her subtle insecurities, but Gloria seems to come off a little self-centered, don't you think? "Oh, not to worry, I'm hot, I can find a boyfriend/husband no problem," yet she can't. Whoa! Wait a minute, Gloria doesn't remember yet has to reflect back why no man calls her, even if she's hot stuff? Tch.some bachelorette. I think they got the alias that you've been living underīut you really don't remember, was it something that they said?Īre the voices in your head calling, Gloria?" Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'? "You really don't remember, was it something that he said?Īre the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
#Laura branigan gloria lyrics Patch#
That's hard to do since the man she's looking to get, assuming he can read her signals, knows this Gloria girl is in a rush to get someone-to patch up her single status. I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it"īranigan talks about this girl named Gloria, saying she's "a girl that's running too fast for her own steps." This means, Gloria is urgent in finding someone not mindful of the consequences but still has to be warned that in case it doesn't work out with the man she's chasing, she must remain at ease. I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow Let me tell you: it closely relates to a girl I thought I was in love with. No worries, I've got 'Self Control' but being that Valentine's Day is coming up, this hit song of hers, 'Gloria,' requires interpreting. Oh yes, the era of female bands and badass chicks, and Laura Branigan is no exception.
