Maria

Maria was born in the valley
She wants to be a superstar
She says she wants to move to California
As soon as she gets a car
Maria likes going to parties
She hangs out with the popular crowd
She says she doesn't mind
If I stay with her tonight
But I can't stick around
No, I won't stick around

But I can be your savior
I can save you from yourself
But stay with me, I swear, baby
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

Maria got caught up in substance
Problems that made her bad
She said sometimes, I hate my life
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
Maria didn't know who to turn to
I guess that's why she turned to me
Said, I can be your hero
But I can try my best to be, the many of dreams

But I can be your savior
I can save you from yourself
But stay with me, I swear, baby
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

Just take these pills and get some rest
And call me in the morning

Maria, please, don't give me up

This is only the beginning
Maria, will you wait for me?
Maria, will you wait for me

No, I can't be your savior
I can't save you from yourself
But stay with me, I swear, honey
We'll be fine
