A boy like that who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind
Stick to your own kind!

A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind
Stick to your own kind!

A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!

A boy like that wants one thing only
And when he's done, he'll leave you lonely
He'll murder your love
He murdered mine
Just wait and see
Just wait, Maria
Just wait and see!

Oh no, Anita, no, Anita, no!
It isn't true, not for me
It's true for you, not for me
I hear your words and in my head
I know they're smart
But my heart, Anita, but my heart
A boy like that who'd kill your brother (Knows they're wrong)
Forget that boy and find another (and my heart is too strong)
One of your own kind (for I belong)
Stick to your own kind! (to him alone, to him alone)
One thing I know I am his
A boy who kills cannot love (I don't care what he is)
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love (I don't know why it's so) and gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!

Oh no, Anita, no, you should know better!
You were in love or so you said
You should know better

I have a love, and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him, I'm his, and everything he is
I am, too
I have a love, and it's all that I need
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too
I love him, we're one
There's nothing to be done
Not a thing I can do
But hold him, hold him forever
Be with him now, tomorrow
And all of my life!

When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life
