All the hate is hard to swallow oh oh
But even if it gets me down what can I do
Everyone's trying too hard to hate me so tell me
Does eating me alive
Just give you life?

What can I do I'm lonely
Bottled the hostility
Don't have the strength to get angry
Don't got the time to
But tell me what is it
You hate, just walk away
What's wrong with everybody

Maria, Maria
Listen up Maria
It's been a shining night
Don't let them take your light
Oh Maria, listen hard Maria
What are you trying so hard for?
You're already beautiful

(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) this one's for you my love
(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) You beautiful, Maria

No frame no fake
You giving me a headache
The sky's blue, obviously
So don't complicate it
I can change the way I go when I say
If you don't agree, get out of my way
If you wanna se-e me shed some tears so bad
Here just take it

What can I do I'm lonely
Bottled the hostility
Don't have the strength to get angry
Don't see the point too
So don't let it stain your heart
Or break you
You're just getting started

Maria, Maria
Listen up Maria
It's been a shining night
Don't let them take your light
Oh Maria, listen hard Maria
What are you trying so hard for?
You're already beautiful

(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) this one's for you my love
(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) You beautiful, Maria

(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) I'm saying this for you
(Yeah) Oh na ah ah
(Yeah) You're beautiful, Maria
