If you wanna spend every day over at mine
That's fine
I'll be down in the basement and writing a song that'll please you
And it's mine
I'll spend every day making this poem for you
And spend every day making us feel brand new
Maria
You've been at this for a year
Now it's all up to me
Now it's all up to me

If you dare to spend every day looking at me
I'd be glad, so glad
I'll drive across town just to pick you up
And it's tough, but I'm tough
I'll be taking it day by day
To keep us feeling the same
Maria, you've been at this for a year
Now it's all up to me
Now it's all up to me and you

Maria and I go down the city blocks
She wraps around my arm as we stand and talk
I ask her what she's done to me
She says it happened naturally
Maria, why are you still so afraid

If you're willing to spend every day with me
I'd be glad
If you don't want to move in next door that'd be fine
It's fine, I'm fine
We'll look back and see its been done
And realize we lived through all the fun
Maria, you've been at this all your life
Now let's do it again
Now let's do it again

Maria and I go down the city blocks
She wraps around my arm as we stand and talk
I ask her what she's done to me
She says it happened naturally
Maria, why are you still so afraid
