Maria

I was on the handball court when she first caught my eye
Right off of Northern Boulevard, behind Flushing high
I said hi my name is Vince she said my name's Maria
I'm very glad to know ya and I'm really glad to met cha
We had some things in common like living in Corona
She gave me her number, told me I could phone her
Nothing sexual but our chemistry was on
But when my handball game was over I turned around and she was gone!

Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you see this girl named Maria
Tell her I'm searching for her all the time
Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you knew this girl named Maria
You will see that she one of a kind

I caught up with her again on Junction Boulevard
and I told her catching up with you is really very hard
But she was acting strange and wouldn't come close to me
Then I seen her Mom's and she carrying some groceries
She dropped her bags and came towards me with a scary look
yelled stay away from her then hit me with her pocketbook
I got myself together and I tried to shake it off
She threw Maria in the car and I just watched them taking off

Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you see this girl named Maria
Tell her I'm searching for her all the time
Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you knew this girl named Maria
You will see that she one of a kind

I ran all over town man searching for Maria
The only thing on my mind was that i really had to see her
I finally saw her at a jam at 92 Park
We danced and we talked til it was getting very dark
We walked to a restaurant and got us both some grub
had a deep conversation where I think I fell in love
Things were going right so she spent the night
I woke up in the morning and she was nowhere in sight

Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you see this girl named Maria
Tell her I'm searching for her all the time
Have you seen this girl named Maria
I just can't get her out of my mind
If you knew this girl named Maria
You will see that she one of a kind
