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)
