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 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
