She remind me of a West Side story

Growin′ up in Spanish HarlemShe livin' a life just like a movie star

Oh, Maria, Maria

She fell in love in East L.A

Stop the lootin', stop the shootin′

Pick-pockin′ on the corner

See as the rich is getting richer

The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner

Thinkin' of ways to make it better

In my mailbox there′s an eviction letter

Signed by the judge said, "See you later"

Yeah
