[Verse 1]
I was your big man, I was your Prince Charming
King on a white horse, hey now, look how far I've fallen
I tried to trick you, yeah, but baby, you got wise
You cut me, cut me right down to size
Now I'm just a fool in Gloria's eyes

[Verse 2]
Swore I'd get you back, I was so sure
I'd get you back like I'd done so many times before
A little sweet talk to cover over all of the lies
You came runnin' back, but to my surprise
There was somethin' gone in Gloria's eyes

[Bridge]
Well, in the dark when it was just me and you
I asked the question that I knew the answer to
Is that a smile, my little dolly on the shelf?
Tell me is that a smile or is it somethin' else?

[Verse 3]
I work hard to prove my love is true
I work hard and I bring it on home to you
At night, I pray as silently as you lie
Someday my love again will rise
Like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes
[Refrain]
Like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes
Yeah, like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes

[Outro]
I was your big man, I was your Prince Charming
King on a white horse, now look how far I've fallen
