dear maria, count me in

i got your picture

i'm coming with you

dear maria

count me in

there's a story at the bottom of this bottle

and i'm the pen

when the lights go off

i wanna watch the way you

take the stage by storm

the way you wrap those boys around your finger

go on and play the leader

'cause you know it's what you're good at

the low road for the fast track

make every second last

'cause i got your picture

i'm coming with you

dear maria

count me in

there's a story at the bottom of this bottle

and i'm the pen

make it count when i'm the one

who's selling you out

'cause it feels like stealing hearts

calling your name from the crowd

doesn't that mean you'll be the show girl of the home team

i'll be the narrator

telling another tale of the american dream

i see your name in lights

we can make you a star

girl

we'll take the world by storm

it isn't that hard

'cause i got your picture

i'm coming with you

dear maria

count me in

there's a story at the bottom of this bottle

and i'm the pen

make it count when i'm the one

who's selling you out

'cause it feels like stealing hearts

calling your name from the crowd

take a breath

don't it sound so easy

never had a doubt

now i'm going crazy watching from the floor

take a breath and let the rest come easy

never settle down

'cause the cash flow leaves me always wanting more

'cause i got your picture

i'm coming with you
