Lyrics

Maria, you don't know me all that well
But the man who loves you loved me once
Isn't that enough?
Still, you might think
Advice is the last thing you should take from me
From where you sit, love is absolute
Well, I've known that throne, too

Chorus:
Hold on, hold on
By the time you feel him slipping away
Maria, you're too late
And I'm dying proof of just what will become of you

Maria, I won't lie and tell you I'm over him
We both know, in his eyes
Nothing matters less
But if I'd only known just how much I was losing
I?d have followed this very rule that I'm offering you

Chorus

Oh, he'll hurt you (He'll never mean to)
Youvll give him everything (You won't mind)
But when you've been worn thin
Don't do what I did

Chorus
