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.      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...
