Maria Lyrics

It's not fair

She got everything she wanted and still she wanted more

She had a big house

Rich fiancé

Enough money to stay comfortable for all her days

She's the oldest

She's the prettiest

Disingenuous

Insidious

All the handsome rich guys want to take her as their bride

But she wasn't satisfied

She had to go wreck her life

And chase the only guy who had caught her sister's eye

Maria

You couldn't put the fire out inside you

Why'd you go and chase him

You knew that you were taken

You knew that he was playing you

It's not fair

He got everything he wanted from her

And then skipped town

She didn't want to let him win

So she married off, moved to London

Told herself she had to let go of the attraction

'Cause she's the oldest

She's the prettiest

Married well

Fastidious

She's the family's pride

The perfect daughter in their eyes

But she wasn't satisfied

When her father asked if she married for love

She lied

Maria

You couldn't put the fire out inside you

Why'd you go and chase him

You knew that you were taken

You knew that he was playing you

Late April

There he stands at a dinner party at your friend's

You gave him the cold shoulder

But it only made him bolder

You knew you never had his heart

You were just a game from the start

After the affair, he walks away

She's reproachable all her days

Maria

You couldn't put the fire out inside you

Why'd you go and chase him

You knew that you were taken

You knew that he was playing you

Maria

You left your family grieving

And now your husband's leaving

His act was so deceiving

But wasn't ill-received by you
