She was fine, the girl was from the projects

She had long brown hair and a body beyond compare

She had a boyfriend, a drug dealer

But I didn't mind, cause she wanted to be with me

So we have to set her free

And when I hear her name, I swear I hear the wind blow

It drives me insane, I'll never let her go

And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying

And I'm dying to see her once more



Chorus:

Maria, the most beautiful song I ever heard

Maria, don't tell your boyfriend how I feel about you

'Cause I need you, and I gotta make you mine

I got to make you mine



Wouldn't it be cool, if we got together

I'll show you that I love you then you'd understand

If he's a drug dealer, don't you know that he won't last forever

And you need the affections of a normal man

And when I see your name, I swear I hear the wind blow

It drives me insane, I'll never let you go

And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying

And I'm dying to see you once more



Chorus (3x)



Whenever she's around

My whole world starts coming down

And I lose control

When she's away I began to miss her

She holds me close and I can't resist her

She kisses me on the lips

Walks away and wiggles her hips

And I lose control

Gotta have that girl, she's all I ever wanted

Don't tell your man

I got a plan

So understand that I can never be the type of guy

That will try to make you cry, ---

-- were never true to take the blame

So I will make your mine, don't look behind

In time the thing will fit the crime

Like they say, what comes around goes around

And brings you down

Maria, yeah some place for us

Maria, so
