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 4x)
