My Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, oh my Maria) Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, Maria) I love you My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way I been longin' to see her When she's around she takes my blues away Sweet Maria the sunlight surely

(Come on) Sing with me, (Sing), sing for the years (Sing it) Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears (Come on) Sing it with me, just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away These ideas are nightmares to white parents Whose worst fear

My Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, oh my Maria) Maria (Oh Maria I love you girl, Maria) I love you My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way I been longin' to see her When she's around she takes my blues away Sweet Maria the sunlight surely

I know you better than you It's never more than I can take I wouldn't have it any other way Slip away in the night You find me holding my breath for you But you're not yourself 'Cause you will never slip away Come and suffer here You find me on my knees

Come on over, come on in You can unwind, take a load off your mind Pull up a seat-take a load off your feet Get away somewhere, take a trip Take a break, take control Take advice from someone you know Get a life-get a grip Make a wish-make a move

And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow She burns like the sun, and I can't look away She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame Come waste your millions here,

Homicidal desire More are marked for murder Walk away, into the dark Come my way, terror I am the evil within each soul I take the spirits of those I kill Decomposition, The body rots Rotting, rotting body parts

Beating like a hammer Help I'm alive My heart keeps beating like a hammer They're gonna eat me alive Hard to be soft Tough to be tender Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train If you're still alive My regrets are few

Make it right away Shake this pain from my soul And take this fool back in your heart baby I'll go crazy if you don't 'Cause I'm a mess here without you Ain't no pill for this pain So please, please come to my rescue baby And I miss you, babe So won't

Erase this monster I've become Forgive me for all the damage done It's not over Say it's not over I'm begging for mercy I'm only the monster you made me (Far away through the pain Take a good look at me now I hear the angels calling)
