When I was a young man in high school
I wanted to play football for the coach, ahh, Freeport Right
Islib Park, Massappqua Park, Rockville Center
The older guys, said he's, he's mean and he's cruel, now
I wanted to play football for the coach
I was little too light weight to go out for line-backer
I wanted to be line-backer
The grass is always greener,
so I went out for right-end
Actually, I was a coldwater, I went out of the section .. eight-six
That's pathetic, big neck
'Cause, some day, man
you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall and
then you're going to die, going to die
And the straightest dude
I ever knew was standing right by me all the time
I had to play football for the coach
And I wanted to play football for the coach
I had to play ball to lose a coach
And I wanted to do it with the coach
When you're all alone and lonely, baby, baby
it's your midnight hour
And you find out that your soul, don't you know, that your soul
is been up for sale
Then you start thinking, ahhh
baby, you're been doin' too much drinkin'
and thinkin' 'bout all the things that you've done
listen to people ... you shouldn't have fun with
Who it was and what it was
and all those things, all those things
you're everything I want, everything you want
Remember the princess on the hill
Ahhh, baby, baby, baby
who loved you knew you was wrong
Remember that love just might come shining through, but
Hey, the glory of our love, ooohhh, sweet nothin'
won't you tell me 'bout the glory of love
Baby, how I miss your love, and I need
the glory of our
it just might see you through
don't you know, it might happen to you
When all your two-bit friends
they've gone and they ripped you right off says everything ...
They say, hey, hey, newly
there's no way you live to be human being
the things they want to say, walkin' in the train
Then you start to thinking, you're doing too much thinking
and they said, said, said
look at, look at all those things that you've done, and I said -
What it was and who it was
and all those things that, baby, everything you want
hey, everything you want
Remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And right now, the city is like a sewer for me, baby
Ah, baby, baby, the glory of
Yeah the glory of love
I told you the glory of love
baby, everything you do
Don't you know that the glory of love
the glory of love, will see you through
Don't you know about the glory of love and
yeah the glory of love
it just can see you through
baby, ahhh, baby, ahhh, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah the glory of our
Don't you, don't you, don't you, the glory of love
Don't you know that glory of love
might just see you through
baby, baby, you know
It will happen to you
It will ever happen to you
Don't you know, I'm just Coney Island baby, now
Don't you know, I'm just Coney Island baby, now
Don't you know, don't you know
It never happen to you
It just might happen, all those things you know
