(Maria) Hey, hey, hey, ey, hey, Maria
(Maria) Don’t you hear me callin’, Maria
(Maria) Girl, you know that you were the only one
Hey, hey, hey, ey, 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, ey, hey, Maria
(Maria) It’s been long, so long, oh
(Maria) Since you’ve been gone
Hey, hey, hey, ey, hey, 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, oh, baby (Maria)
I need you, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm (Maria)
Mmm, mmm, Maria (Maria)
Why, why you keep runnin’ away (Keep runnin’ away)
Ooh, baby (Woo), you keep runnin’ away (You keep runnin’ 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 (Maria)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
After all the lonely nights
That’s my life without you, girl (Maria)
I’m so lonely, I’m so blue
Without you, girlie, my life is through (Maria)
Come on back

You keep pullin’ away
Come back, come back
(You) Ooh, baby (Keep runnin’ away)
I need you (You keep runnin’ away), gotta have you
Ooh, baby (You), ooh, baby (Keep runnin’ away)
(Come back, come back)

Maria (You) Ooh, baby (Keep runnin’ away)
Come on, girl (You keep runnin’ away)
Oh, come back, come back (Come back, come back)
Maria (You) Ooh, baby (Keep runnin’ away)
I need you (You keep runnin’ away), gotta have you, gotta have you
(Come back, come back)

Maria (You keep runnin’ away), come back, come back
Ooh, baby (You), oh (Keep runnin’ away)
Come back, come back (Come back, come back)
Maria (You keep runnin’ away), I gotta have you, I gotta have you
