Maria, why can't I breathe around ya?
Maria
Maria, I'm feelin' weak around ya
Maria
If I could even call you that

I feel myself begging for your attention
Why do I need it so badly?
Everyday, a competition
Why am I so obsessed with your skin?
Can't explain how I know every part of your face

Maria, why can't I breathe around ya?
Maria
Maria, I'm feelin' weak around ya
Maria
If I could even call you that

Why can't I breathe around ya?
Why don't I know me around ya?
I want to be free around ya
Why don't I know me around ya?
I'm feelin' weak around ya
I don't know me around ya
I'm feelin' weak around ya
I still wanna be around ya
Oh

Maria, why can't I breathe around ya?
Maria
Maria, I'm feelin' weak around ya
Maria
If I could even call you that
Maria, why can't I breathe around ya? (I feel myself begging for you)
Maria, Maria, oh
Maria, I'm feelin' weak around ya (I feel myself begging for your attention)
If I could even call you that
