Maria Maria

Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sound of a guitar played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pickpockets on the corner
As the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Seeing Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In the mailbox
There's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sound of reggae music
Played by Inner Circle
Said a like a fella
Mr. Norris
The streets are getting hotter
There's no water to put out the fire
Mi canto esperanza
Seeing Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
As I look up to the sky
Hoping the days of paradise
Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sound of reggae music
Played by Inner Circle
Maria, you know you're my lover
And when the wind blows
I can feel you through the weather
Even though we're apart
Still feel like we're together
Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sound of a guitar played by Carlos Santana
Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sound of reggae music
Played by Inner Circle
Maria, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
Living a life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
