Maria (You Were The Only One)

(album: Got To Be There - 1972)

(Maria)
Hey hey eh eh hey, Maria (Maria)
Don't you hear me calling, Maria? (Maria)
Girl, you know you were the only one

Hey hey eh eh hey, Maria (Maria)
Don't you miss me a little? (Maria)
After all, you were the only one

Come on back to me, Maria (Maria)
Come on back to me, girl

Hey hey hey eh hey, Maria (Maria)
It's been long, so long, oh (Maria)
Since you've been gone

Hey eh eh eh ey, Maria (Maria)
Don't you need me just a little? (Maria)
'Cause honest, girl, you were the only one (Maria)
Come on back to me, Maria
Oh, come on back to me girl (Maria)

Oh, Maria, ooh baby (Maria)
I need you, hmm hmm mm (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
Why, why you keep running away? (You keep running away)
Ooh baby, you keep running away (You keep running away)
Ooh baby, yeah

Maria, I need you honey
Oh, Maria, you sweet little sunflower

Oh, hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here with me, Maria
Ooh, yeah
Empty arms and lonely nights
That's my life without you girl (Maria)
I'm so lonely, I'm so blue
Without you darling, my life is through (Maria)
Come on back!

You keep running away
Come back, come back
(You keep running away)
Ooh, baby
I need you
(You keep running away)
I love you, ooh baby
(You keep running away)
Ooh, baby
(Come back, come back)
Maria (You keep running away)
Ooh baby, gotta have you
(You keep running away)
Oh, come back, come back
(Come back, come back)
Maria (You keep running away)
Ooh baby, I need you
(You keep running away)
Gotta have you, gotta have you
(Come back, come back)
Maria (You keep running away)
Come back, come back, ooh baby
(You keep running away)
Oh, come back, come back
(Come back, come back)
Maria (You keep running away)
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
(You keep running away)
Ooh, baby
