[Chorus]
Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' the life just like a movie star
Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A. 
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

[Build]
Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side story (East coast)
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' the life just like a movie star
Maria, Mari—

[Drop]
Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'
Pick-pockin' on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the cornеr
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox thеre's an eviction letter
Signed by the judge, said "See you later"
Yeah
Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'
Pick-pockin' on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Signed by the judge, said "See you later"
[Chorus]
Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' the life just like a movie star
Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' the life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A. 
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Maria, Maria

[Drop]
She remind me of a West Side story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' the life just like a movie star
Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A. 
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
