Maria she's too young to understand but old enough to feel 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 the scars don't show And with every hurt her tender heart is growing cold (but) 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 wonder's 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 And 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 calling (who) 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 wonder's if there's someone out there Maria if you can hear me please know that you're not forgotten Somebody's trying to get to you 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 wonder's if there's someone out there somewhere Who's gonna love Maria
