My dear Maria   I'm here to see ya   Won't you please, please open the door   I brought ya flowers   Been waitin' hours   Can't stand it anymore      So here's what happened   While you were nappin'   I just went out for a snack   I was feelin' famished   And then I vanished...   But now I'm back      Now he's back   Had a snack   Now he's back      My heart is burning   For that love of ours   Yearning   For that sea of stars   Let me in so I can prove to you   That no one else   Can love you, girl   The way that I do      Oh, how I miss ya   I wanna kiss ya   And hold you close   From dusk to dawn   So let's just make up   And when you wake up   I promise not to be gone      You know I love ya   Dream only of ya   So please, please cut me some slack   I went away   Just a couple of days...   But now I'm back      Now he's back   Cut him slack   Now he's back      Maria, baby,   I guess that maybe   You're still a little angry with me   But it's getting late and   The boys are waitin'   Gotta get something to eat      I better go now   I hope you know now   I love you, that's a fact   Gotta hurry   But don't you worry, babe...   Cause I'll be back      He'll be back   It's a fact   He'll be back   Don't attack...
