Maria
I'd heard your name
But I just thought you'd be the same
As all the women I had known before
Maria
With your coal black eyes
Curly hair, you mesmerize
Saw you comin' from a mile away
Heard you might be passing through
So I wrote a love song just for you
Even though I knew that you were wild
Wasn't 'till I saw you near
Thrashing through the atmosphere
Knew that I'd be hurting for a while
Now all my dreams have drowned
You turned my world around
You and your twisted crown
Queen of the lost and found
You blew my home away
Now everything has changed
I'll never be the same
As the day you came
Just like a hurricane
Maria
I was naïve
Careless dancin' in the breeze
You didn't make it easy
And now I am an island on my knees
And your kiss a brutal memory
Heard you might be passing through
So I wrote a love song just for you
Even though I knew that you were wild
Wasn't 'till I saw you near
Thrashing through the atmosphere
Knew that I'd be hurting for a while
Now all my dreams have drowned
You turned my world around
You and your twisted crown
Queen of the lost and found
You blew my home away
Everything has changed
I'll never be the same
As the day you came
Just like a hurricane
Just like a hurricane
Mm just like a hurricane
