MARIA

Maria, Maria, Maria, I've given you up to make money

Maria, Maria, Maria, I said, “Goodbye” to you honey

I said, “Goodbye” to Maria and I made her cry

I did my best not to hurt her, so I had to tell her a lie

For I'm going away on a trip over sea

And I didn’t want her to know

So I told her that I, wasn’t her kind of guy

So goodbye but I still love you so

I'm going away on a trip over sea, to seek my fortune and fame

But I'm leaving behind, the girl that loves me

Who would have been taking my name

Maria, Maria, Maria, I've given you up to make money

Maria, Maria, Maria, I said, “Goodbye” to you honey

I said, “Goodbye” to Maria and she don’t know why

I don’t wanna be a poor man, so I had to tell her, “Goodbye”

For once in my life, I have a chance to get rich

But she would not understand

So I told her a lie, when I told her, “Goodbye”

And I am going to find my wonderland

I'm going away on a trip over sea, to seek my fortune and fame

But I'm leaving behind, the girl that loves me

Who would have been taking my name

Maria, Maria, Maria, I've given you up to make money

Maria, Maria, Maria, I said, “Goodbye” to you honey

Maria, Maria, Maria, I've given you up to make money

Maria, Maria, Maria, I said, “Goodbye” to you honey
