Another lonely night
Another lonely town
It starts to look the same
It starts to bring me down

So many promises
You knew I'd never keep
I'll make it up to you
Baby don't give up for me

What's it gonna take
To prove I love you
Isn't it enough to you
Me sayin' I still care
I need you next to me

You gotta hold on Maria
I just called to let you know
That I'm dying to see you

You gotta hold on Maria
'Cos I'm comin' back home
And I won't be long

Remember New Year's Eve
And all those games we played
I held you in my arms
We danced...

I know I hurt you girl
I know I made you cry
This time I Swear I've changed
So you give me one more try

What's it gonna take
To prove I love you
Isn't it enough to you
Me sayin' I still care
I need you next to me

You gotta hold on Maria
I just called to let you know
That I'm dying to see you

You gotta hold on Maria
'Cos I'm comin' back home
Girl I won't be long

Listen to your heart only
Please be strong for me

What's it gonna take
To prove I love you
Isn't it enough to you
Me sayin' I still care
I need you next to me

You gotta hold on Maria
I just called to let you know
That I'm dying to see you

You gotta hold on Maria
I just called to let you know
That I'm dying to see you

Hold on Maria
Hold, Hold on
Yeah Yeah

You gotta hold on Maria
I just called to let you know
That I'm dying to see you
