[Verse 1]
She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?

[Chorus]
Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Verse 2]
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire

Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

[Chorus]
Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

[Bridge]
She walks like she don't care
Walking on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

[Chorus]
Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Outro]
Maria
You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina
Ave Maria...

Blondie

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
