Maura Maura you're a lovely girl,
but you're hiding hurt I can tell
Oh you're daddy ran off with a younger girl,
and you're friends are all on drugs as well
Maura Maura it's a living hell but,
I'm striving hard to crack your shell
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to try,
and it may as well be a fool like I
Cus I need, to be needed
I'd love, to be loved
But at the back of my mind I feel that being kind ain't enough
Maura Maura you're a beauty queen,
the kind my eyes have never seen
And I'm working flat out to maybe keep you keen,
but I don't want a bit part in this scene
Maura Maura when you talk at me,
I feign to listen patiently
But I could never judge you that's a guarantee,
and I hope the same rules apple for me
Cus I need, to be needed
I'd love, to be loved
But at the back of my mind I feel that being kind ain't enough
Cus I need you to need me
I'd love you to love
But if I just speak my mind I feel that being kind ain't enough
Maura Maura you're a lovely girl but you're hiding hurt I can tell
Now your lover's run off with a younger girl and he's taken all your drugs as well
