Oh Maria Lyrics - Love At The End Of The World - Sam Roberts

You could never compromise 

I could never satisfy you at all 

Always thought you had gentle eyes 

Then you've had me institutionalized 

(Twice before) 

Before I was a young man 

Now look at me, I'm just younger than old 

The years don't seem to touch you 

It makes me wonder what you sold 

Oh, my Maria 

I'll never change you, I know, I know 

I need to see you 

That never changes, oh no 

You lived on the 7th floor 

It was far from heaven but it meant more 

You said things that were hard to ignore 

My conversation makes you bored 

You always hated wedding bells 

You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say 

Life is for the taking 

Life is for the taking 

Oh, my Maria 

I'll never change you, I know, I know 

I need to see you 

That never changes, oh no 

So how's it gonna be, Maria? 

Will it be you and me? 

Or will it be 

Five more years of counting my tears 

Five more years of living in fear 

I beg for my supper at night 

If this is love then it don't feel right 

And my heart's burning out of control 

They gave her five but she's out on parole 

Hey, hey, hey 

This girl is leading me astray 

Saw a photograph of you today 

Your eyes look tired but you haven't aged 

And now I see that you made the front page 

Married for the money and you blew him away 

Oh Maria, when you were doing time 

You only had five words on your mind 

Life is for the taking 

Life is for the taking 

Oh, my Maria 

I'll never change you, I know, I know 

I need to see you 

That never changes, oh no 

Oh, my Maria 

I'll never change you, I know, I know 

I need to see you 

That never changes, oh no 

I beg for my supper at night 

If this is love then it don't feel right 

And my heart's burning out of control 

They gave her five but she's out on parole 

Hey, hey, hey 

This girl is leading me astray 

Listen, what I say 

This girl is leading me astray
