Lyrics
Maria
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maria she's too young to understand but old enough to feel the pain
Of living where no love can grow with no hope for change
Maria her world is an angry place but she makes sure the scars don't show
And with every hurt her tender heart is growing cold (but)
Who who's gonna love Maria
Who who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries
She wonder's if there's someone out there somewhere
Who's gonna love Maria
(Maria) she looks in the mirror now and the little girl is gone
And still the search for someone's love goes on and on for Maria
But does anybody care or even notice her at all
Is anyone listening close enough to hear her calling (who)
Who who's gonna love Maria
Who who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries
She wonder's if there's someone out there
Maria if you can hear me please know that you're not forgotten
Somebody's trying to get to you
Who who's gonna love Maria
Who who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain
She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries
She wonder's if there's someone out there somewhere
Who's gonna love Maria
