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)
