I'm exausted

Tryin' to catch my breath the morning after

Pour my coffee

With Shakin' hands and my world in disarray

Lost in the softness and strength that's in her hands

I see her face and I can barely stand

But oh, the sweet redemption every time she mentions

That she wants me, oh, that she needs me, oh

(Chorus:)

Maria

Your kisses knock me over

Make me drunk and then leave me sober

They let me know that I'm a man

Maria

Your touch, it almost kills me

Then it turns around and heals me

I get lost and found again

In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria

Tender power

The gift she gives me gets me through the day

Midnight hour

I reach across the bed where she lay

Then I look up and see the moon dance on her skin

My heart starts poundin' once again

It's a sweet intoxication, a powerful frustration

How I want her, oh how I need her

(Repeat Chorus)

Maria

Your kisses knock me over

Make me drunk and then leave me sober

They let me know that I'm a man

Maria

Your touch, it almost kills me

Then it turns around and heals me

I get lost and found again

In the arms of a woman

In the arms of a woman that a mother

In the arms of a woman that a mother gave the name Maria

I'm exhausted

I'm still tryin' to catch my breath.

Maria

Oh Maria
