Ain't no doubt about it,
That lady's so good for you,
She's just bidding her time before,
She makes her final move.

Oh Maria don't take too long,
'Cause when he sees you - 
It makes it worth going on.

Oh and the love she'll give you
Is worth the price you pay,
And as she closes round you 
Takes away your fears of yesterday.

We all take that step one day,
Some kind of future we all need to find,
If that seems a problem to you,
Just kick it out of your mind.

Oh Maria don't take too long,
'Cause when he sees you -
It makes it worth going on.

Oh and the love she'll give you
Is worth the price you pay,
And as she closes round you
Takes away your fears of yesterday
