Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon
And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)...
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?

The "Voices in your head" are memories of all the men she slept with. The true meaning of the song is revealed in the 2nd verse
"Gloria - How's it gonna go down Will you meet him (THE CLIENT) on the main line
Or will you catch him on the rebound Will you marry for the money (meaning give him his fantasy for the money)
Take your lover in the afternoon. (another client) Feel your innocence slippin' away
Don't believe it's coming back soon (self explanatory) And you really don't remember (probably from being drugged a commonly used method for call girls)
Was it something that they said All the voices in your head (The many men she bedded)
Calling GLO-RI-A
and the chorus says "I think they got your number" meaning literally. "Think they got your Alias you been living under (Most call girls never use their REAL name, so Gloria was probably her Real name)
That's what I got out of it. Brilliant writing however. Back in the 70's and 80's people had to write in codes. it was not acceptable to just write a song about something so risque.
