Maria Lyrics by O’Bryan

Surrender

1986

[Verse 1]
I'm mad about you, baby
I've done all that man can do
And I'm sure you know, I'm crazy over you
And I need you here with me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll build my whole world around you
I'll give you everything you need

[Chorus]
Maria, why can't you see that
I wanna love and adore you
I just wanna hold you

'Cause I know that we could be happy
If you just stay here beside me
Love and to guide me

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna keep on sending pretty roses every day
And my love for you will never go away, oh, no
You're the only girl for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll build my whole world around you
I'll give you all you ever need

[Chorus]
Ho-
Maria, why can't you see that
I wanna love and adore you
I just wanna hold you

'Cause I know that we could be happy
If you just stay here beside me
To love and to guide me, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

(Maria)
(Maria)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll build my whole world around you
I'm down on bended knees

[Chorus]
Maria, why can't you see that
I wanna love and adore you
I just wanna hold you

'Cause I know that we could be happy
If you just stay here beside me
To love and to guide me

Maria, why can't you see that
I wanna love and adore you
I only wanna hold you

I know we could be happy
If you just stay...
Maria, can't you see?
I need you, baby

Oh, my lady
I'm your man (I wanna love and adore you)
We'll stay together
Ooh, 'till it's all over, baby
We could be happy
