Sweet Maria

If I had a car, we'd drive down to the ocean
 You'd call it el mar, and we'd lay out in the sand
 And if the sun was shining, I'd cover you with lotion
 Talk about the fine things and forget the second hand
 Oh Maria, dance a little closer
 Close your eyes and don't say anything
 Don't believe the sirens on Figueroa
 Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
 Sweet Maria
 And if I had a plane, we'd fly to Costa Rica
 Land atop a mountain and look down on the world
 I'd learn to speak Spanish, we'd eat comida rica
 And everything would vanish that we didn't want in our world
 Oh Maria, dance a little closer
 Close your eyes and don't say anything
 Don't believe the sirens on Figueroa
 Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
 Sweet Maria
 And if I wasn't me, I wouldn't blow my money
 On cocaine mariachi, and we could do all that kind of stuff
 And maybe I'd never worry that you weren't gonna love me
 That I'd wake up and find you burned me
 Cuz I didn't have enough for you
 Maria, dance a little closer
 Close your eyes and don't say anything
 Don't believe the sirens on Figueroa
 Just listen to Carmelita sing Las Mañanitas
 Sweet Maria
