Maria -she's too young to understand, but old enough to fell the pain

Of living where no love can grow with no hope for change

Maria - her world is an angry place but she makes sure that scars don't show

And with every hurt her tender heart is growing cold (but)

CHORUS

Who, who's gonna love Maria

Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for

Like a desert longs for rain

She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries

She wonders if there's someone out there somewhere

Who's gonna love Maria

(Maria) she looks in the mirror now and the little girl is gone

But still the search for someone's love goes on and on for Maria

But does anybody care or even notice her at all

Is anyone listening close enough to hear her call (and who)

CHORUS

Who, who's gonna love Maria

Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for

Like a desert longs for rain

She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries

She wonders if there's someone out there

BRIDGE

Maria if you can hear me, please know that you're not forgotten

Somebody's trying to get to you

(Chorus 1)
