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 Chorus (1x)
