Lyrics
Maria's cryin' tonight
Maria's cryin', cryin' tonight
And outside in the late fading light
Stands Maria who's cryin' tonight
Maria ain't tryin' tonight
Maria hates tryin', she stands outside
In the night by the cool neon sign
That's her livin', she ain't livin' tonight
Hey, do I look familiar?
Maria's dyin' tonight
Maria's dyin', dyin' inside
In the cold bitter souls can't survive
She hates livin', she hates livin' tonight
Hey, do I look familiar?
Maria's dyin' tonight
