Maria Songtext
von Deborah Levoy

I′m a busy girl 'cause I′ve got lots of friends
I meet them on the corner and they take me for a ride
Windows rolled down, a shiny breeze
One hand on the wheel, the other hand on my knee
And they say
Maria you are special
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Maria you are beautiful tonight
Well they kept me back in third grade, they talked to my ma
They told her I was too slow, that I would not get far
Special's what they called me and they put me in a special room
With lots of funny kids and the teacher kept me late in the afternoon
And he said
Maria you are special
Don′t let anyone tell you otherwise
Maria you are beautiful tonight
Well my daddy was a salesman but he never went to work
He′d sit in front of the TV when I get home from school
And he'd say, "Maria bring the bottle and I′ll share half with you
I won't tell your ma if you do what I say to do"


And he′d say
Maria you are special
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Maria you are beautiful tonight
Well last night I dreamed that the streets became the ocean
And I was down in an inner sea of cars
I reached out my hands as high as they would go
And I pulled myself up to a sky so calm
Ooh, whoa, yeah
This morning I woke up to flooded streets
I opened my window to let in the breeze
I was looking down at the pavement and looking up at the sky
Leaning out my window wondering if I could fly
And I said
Maria you are special
Don′t let anyone tell you otherwise
Maria you are beautiful
Maria you are special
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Maria you are beautiful
Maria
