Maria
BlondieShe moves like she don't
Smooth as , cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna
She doesn't know your
And your heart beats like a train
Ooh it makes you wanna
Ooh, don't you wanna her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your ?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
I've seen this before
In my best and the boy next
Fool for love and fool on
Won't come in from the
She's oceans running down the
Blue as ice and
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Ooh, don't you wanna her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
She walks like she don't care
Walking on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
This was written by Blondie keyboard player Jimmy Destri, who when asked what this song was about replied:
"Desire. Teenage desire because I have a teenage daughter and she's pretty beautiful and I watch all these boys gawk at her. I put myself in their shoes thinking about what I used to do with girls back then. I wasn't a very forward guy at all, I was like from afar and I'd go home and write a poem about her - I was really a sad little bastard. It sounds cute but you don't get any attention that way. So 'Maria' is about desire and the whole idea of using the Ave Maria thing is a way of saying she's on a pedestal, she's almost holy. It's not a religious thing at all, I don't believe in religion really."
