Gonna Take My Mind Off Maria

Every other day of the week
I would meet Maria
And at times I could hardly speak
I felt so weak, just to see her

But she was never really mine
And now I'm spending all my time

Try to take my mind off Maria
But there's not a single thing I can do
Try to take my mind off Maria
Any hope that I might have, I have with you
I can never disown that I have known Maria
And that days when others have shown
That I could only be her

She makes me feel the way I do
Forgive me if I'm hurting you

Try to take my mind off Maria
But there's not a single thing I can do
Try to take my mind off Maria
With you here, my tears may seize to fall

Try to take my mind off Maria
But there's not a single thing I can do
Try to take my mind off Maria
With you here, my tears may seize to fall

Try to take my mind off Maria
But there's not a single thing I can do
Try to take my mind off Maria
