I’ve got so much to do I’d better not leave work early
I’ve got to be up by seven, better not stay up all night
But you know that I’m a sucker for that long dark hair
She’s got me falling, no she’s not playing fair

And I can’t say that I never saw it coming
But I got hit from my blindest side
I was keeping my eyes open, keeping my head down
But you’d better watch your heart boy when Maria comes to town

I said something about the moon, oh no, that sounded so romantic
And now I’m edging closer got to stay in control
But her eyes are smiling at me and her lips just wont wait
I…I…I guess it’s to late

But I can’t say that I never saw it coming
But I got hit from my blindest side
I was keeping my eyes open, keeping my head down
But you’d better watch your heart boy when Maria comes to town

Something strange was happening, I lost track of all the time
All the garbage smelled like honeysuckle blooming on the vine
And the vultures looked so beautiful circling up above
Wait, stop, oh shit I think I’m in love

But I can’t say that I never saw it coming
But I got hit from my blindest side
I was keeping my eyes open, keeping my head down
But you’d better watch your heart boy when Maria comes to town
