It’s better to love and lost Than never to love I’m told But is it better to burn this young flame Than pray for the fire to grow cold?
Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind To me one last time
So run with me now in the tall, tall grass Waitin’ for the sun to get low And sing to me in the sweetest voice And dance with me nice and slow
Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind To me one last time
So let’s burn down this town for one more night Oh Maria, you’ve got me ’til the morning light I won’t pitch a fit, no I won’t try to fight A caged bird don’t sing, so baby, take flight
Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind Oh Maria, be kind To me one last time Be kind To me one last time Be kind To me one last time
