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
