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 he'd 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
(Never let her go)
And I start to laugh
'Cause I'm so afraid of cryin'
And I'm dyin' to see her once more
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
Don't tell your boyfriend
How I feel about ya
'Cause I need you
And I gotta make you mine
I've 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
(Never let you go)
And I start to laugh
'Cause I'm so afraid of cryin'
And I'm dyin' to see you once more
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
Don't tell your boyfriend
How I feel about ya
'Cause I need you
And I gotta make you mine
I've got to make you mine
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
Don't tell your boyfriend
How I feel about ya
'Cause I need you
And I gotta make you mine
I've got to make you mine

(So Maria, see ya)
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
Don't tell your boyfriend
How I feel about ya
'Cause I need you
And I gotta make you mine
I've got to make you mine
Whenever she's around
My whole world starts comin' 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
I gotta have that girl
She's all I ever wanted
(Go tell your man)
I got a plan, so understand
That I can never be the type of guy
(Maria)
To try to make you cry
With tears of pain
Who's sayin' he'll never truly take the blame
So fine, I'll make you mine
Don't look behind
In time, the pain will fit the crime
Like they say, what comes around
(I've got to make you mine)
Goes around and brings you down
(Maria)
There's a place for us
(Maria)
Somewhere, a place for us
Together we will be until eternity
Somewhere out there
(I've got to make you mine)
(Maria)
Tonight in the corners of my lonely room
I pray for your salvation, rehabilitation
(Maria)
And I pray the Lord above
To forever bring me love
And as I fall asleep to dream once more
I have to make you mine
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
Don't tell your boyfriend
How I feel about ya
'Cause I need you
And I gotta make you mine
I've got to make you mine
(Maria)

(So Maria, see ya)
