Lyrics:
- You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
- You believe in or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach
- All those older guys, they said he was mean and cruel
- But you know, I wanted to play football, for the coach
- They said I was to little too light weight to play line-back
- So I say I'm playing right-in
- Wanted to play football for the coach
- Cause, you know some day, man, you gotta stand up straight
- Unless you're gonna fall
- Then you're gonna die
- And the straightest dude I ever knew
- Was standing right for me, all the time
- So I had to play football for the coach
- And I wanted to play football for the coach
- When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
- And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale
- And you getting to think about, all the things you done
- And you getting to hate just about everything
- But remember the princess who lived on the hill
- Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
- And right now she just might come shining through
- and the glory of love, glory of love
- Glory of love, just might come through
- And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
- They're talking behind your back saying, man
- you are never going to be a human being
- And you start thinking again
- About all those things that you've done
- And who it was and who it was
- And all the different things you made every different scene
- Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
- Something like a circus or a sewer
- And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes
- And the Glory of love, the glory of love
- The glory of love, might see you through
- Yeah, but now, now
- Glory of love, the glory of love
- The glory of love, might see you through
- Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
- Glory of love, glory of love
- Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
- Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
- Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through
- Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
- (I'm a Coney Island baby, now)
- I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
- And the Lord appeared and he has one made of two
- Coney Island baby
- Man, I swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you
