She was fine, the girl was from the projects
She had long brown hair and a body beyond compare
She had a boyfriend, a drug dealer
But I didn't mind, cause she wanted to be with me
So we have to set her free
And when I hear her name, I swear I hear the wind blow
It drives me insane, I'll never let her go
And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying
And I'm dying to see her once more
Chorus:
Maria, the most beautiful song I ever heard
Maria, don't tell your boyfriend how I feel about you
'Cause I need you, and I gotta make you mine
I got to make you mine
Wouldn't it be cool, if we got together
I'll show you that I love you then you'd understand
If he's a drug dealer, don't you know that he won't last forever
And you need the affections of a normal man
And when I see your name, I swear I hear the wind blow
It drives me insane, I'll never let you go
And I start to laugh cause I'm so afraid of crying
And I'm dying to see you once more
Chorus (3x)
Whenever she's around
My whole world starts coming down
And I lose control
When she's away I began to miss her
She holds me close and I can't resist her
She kisses me on the lips
Walks away and wiggles her hips
And I lose control
Gotta have that girl, she's all I ever wanted
Don't tell your man
I got a plan
So understand that I can never be the type of guy
That will try to make you cry, ---
-- were never true to take the blame
So I will make your mine, don't look behind
In time the thing will fit the crime
Like they say, what comes around goes around
And brings you down
Maria, yeah some place for us
Maria, somewhere a place for us
Together we will be, until eternity
Somewhere out there, I got to make you mine
Tonight in the corners of my lonely room
I pray for your salvation, rehabilitation
And I pray to the lord above to forever bring me love
And as I fall asleep to dream once more
I have to make you mine
