Maria hey, hey, Maria (I'm here)
Maria, don't you hear me calling, Maria?
Maria, girl you know you were the only one

How was I supposed to know?
That it would cost my soul
Nothin is free', out you
I wanna breathe out you
And how am I supposed to face this lonely life I've created?
Is that the price that I'm payin'?
I wanna feel it

All my life, wouldn't give up
Was too young too know the difference
How did I get so low?
When did I turn so cold?
Inside of my own mind, I believe my own lies
I'm facing the mirror

Where, where, where is Maria?
Why, why, why don't I see her?
I, I just wanna see her
Why, why, why don't I see her?
I, I just need to see ya, Maria

Now do you hear it in my voice?
That I'm tryna make a choice
I don't know which way to go at this crossroads
You done taped my mouth shut
Make me feel worthless, used up

So tired of painting all this makeup
'Cause it won't hide my deep cuts
Eyes open but can't see
Mouth open but can't speak
I'm facing the mirror

Where, where, where is Maria?
Why, why, why don't I see her?
I, I just wanna see her
Where, where, where is Maria?
Oh, I just wanna see ya, Maria

Oh my lord
Can you take away this heavy load?
I can't carry it anymore
I'm callin' an angel, where is my savior?
Oh my lord
Can you take away this heavy load?
I can't carry it anymore
I'm callin' an angel, where is my savior?

Hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here with me
Hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here with me
Hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here with me
Hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here
You keep on running away

Can you hear me callin'?
My whole world is fallin'
I can't see ya, oh, I need ya
Don't keep on runnin' away
Can you hear me callin'?
My whole world is fallin'
I can't see ya, oh, I need ya
Don't keep on runnin' away
Don't run away, don't run away, no (you keep on runnin' away)
Don't run away, don't run away, no (you keep on runnin' away)
Don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't run, don't run, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't you keep on runnin' from me
Don't you keep on runnin' from me
Where is, where is, where is, where is Maria?

Don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't run away, don't run away, no
Where is Maria?
You know I need ya
Where is Maria?
