Early in the morning she wakes up, she winds her heart around his game
The radio machine starts to play, a song comes on and calls her name
It goes, hey Maria, stop what you do
Be proud to be, if I were in your shoes
You, baby I'd get rid of all these blues
Now she wanna face the facts and try to make her stay
And walk that track till the bitter end
They say joy never leaves you, so why'd you wanna stay and tease
Why'd you even worry about it
And I ain't stupid, if that's what you heard
My deeds were proven, you mark my words
I'm the greatest girl on this earth
Maria, yeah I'm beautiful
Maria, I'm adorable
Maria, yeah I'm sexual
Maria, but respectable
Hey, that's me
Early in the morning she wakes up, she plans her season's affair
And people they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
She can't hear what they're saying
And here's a message that I finally heard
I can see my future sticking out of the dirt
Now I know just what that is worth
