Hair pitch black like the midnight sky 
 Eyes like the jungle, you're something wild 
 Her sweet melody sings wherever I go 
 Running through my mind, sitting in this road 
    Maybe I'll 
 Write a letter from this little old country town 
 Down in Texas (ooh) 
 I'll keep it here for you   
 Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella 
 Mariella, Mariella, Mari', can we go together?   
 Nothing here changes, seasons go by 
 You said, Hello, you said, Goodbye 
 Did you run away? Mariella, where did you go? 
 Somewhere new, somewhere old   
 Maybe I'll 
 Don't ever wanna live alone in a country town 
 Down in Texas (ah) 
 With the memory of you   
 Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella 
 Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella 
 Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella 
 Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, holding on to you   
 Ooh   
 Ooh 
 Hm-mm 
 Hm-mm, mm-mm 
 Hm-mm, hm 
 Ooh 
 Ooh 
 Mariella
