I'm exhausted, trying to catch my breath the morning' after I hold my coffee with shaking hands and my world in disarray Lost by the softness and the 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 Maria your kisses knock me over Make me drunk then leave me sober They let me know that I'm a man Maria, your touch it almost k**s 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 Oh, Maria Your kisses knock me over Make me drunk then leave me sober They let me know that I'm a man Maria Your touch, it almost k**s 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 trying to catch my breath Maria Oh, maria
