When that old Cupid's arrow comes
Straight to your heart
And you can't sleep at night
'cause we're livin' apart
You ain't sure about her
Don't know what to do
Well, don't be afraid
'cause there'll be someone new
If you don't have much money
It makes you feel blue
Then you are a poor gambler
With nothing to do
That big wheel of fortune has
No plans for you
Well, don't be afraid 'cause we
All do love you
Let's come together, together again
Just like the old folks as
They sing with the band
Like that waltzing Maria
With that fire in her dark eyes
One more tequila and cling to the band
Just like the old folks
Every neighbor's a friend
Like that waltzing Maria
With those beautiful eyes
Well, I bought me a guitar
And wrote me a song
When I played a few chords
The crowd didn't stay long
They say I'm no big star and
I know that it's true
Well, don't be afraid 'cause we
All sing with you
Let's come together, together again
Just like the old folks as
They sing with the band
Like that waltzing Maria
With that fire in her dark eyes
One more tequila and cling to the band
Just like the old folks
Every neighbor's a friend
Like that waltzing Maria
With those beautiful eyes
Well don't be afraid 'cause we
All do love you
Let's come together, together again
Just like the old folks as
They sing with the band
Like that waltzing Maria
With that fire in her dark eyes
One more tequila and cling to the band
Just like the old folks
Every neighbor's a friend
Like that waltzing Maria
With those beautiful eyes
Like that waltzing Maria
With those beautiful eyes
Like that waltzing Maria
With those beautiful eyes
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story is the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"
