Maria - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You out your hands, Maria

Was this one like the time before?

You think this time you might die?

So you won't feel it anymore

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria

[Verse 2]

You try to make me feel guilty

Saying I'm the cause of everything

Then you try to make me look so filthy

Putting naked pictures up on the sink

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria

[Verse 3]

And then you say I'm rebellious

Like a Cuban refugee

Well, Castro awaits your approval

For everything I do today

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria

[Verse 4]

Don't pull away, Maria

Don't fight what you feel you have

Don't lie to yourself if you want me

Don't take a chance on not ever had

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria

[Verse 5]

You got what you want, Maria

A new car and a child to parade

And it's been ten years since I've seen you

It'll be ten years of the same

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]

We flew to Paris just to see the sun

Your friend was gone, must have gone away

We made love in Spain in the open sun

Things were better in those younger days

[Verse 7]

I think of times when we weren't so afraid

To act a little differently

But it seems when people get on in age

They feel they've gotta act the same way

[Bridge]

Now tell me, does it feel right?

Now tell me, does it look right?

Now tell me, does it seem right?

Now tell me, are you hot tonight?

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria

[Chorus]

Maria, Marie, Maria, Maria
