Maria (You Were The Only One)

by Jimmy Ruffin

Lyrics
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Maria
Don't you hear me callin', Maria?
Girl, you know you were the only one

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Maria
Don't you miss me just a little?
After all, you were the only one
Come on back to me, Maria
Come on back to me, girl

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Maria
It's been long, so long
Mmm, since you've been gone
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Maria, yeah, yeah
Don't you need me just a little?
'Cause honest to God, you were the only one
Come on back to me, Maria
Oh, come on home to me, girl

Oh, Maria
Oh baby, I need ya
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Maria, why you keep runnin' away?
Oh baby, woo, ooh
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Hear my plea for sympathy
I just want you here with me, Maria, ooh
Empty hours and lonely nights
That's my life without you, girl
I'm so lonely, I'm so blue
Without you, darling, my life is through
Maria, come on, Maria
'Cause I'm so doggone lonely, baby
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for you
You were the only one

Please believe me, baby
When I tell you down on my bended knee how much I love you
