	Story Behind the Song Despite much speculation about whom the main character in the song really is, it's all fiction. Part of the author’s self-imposed exercise in creative writing. We recorded this on a VestaFire analog 4-track recorder. We had been practicing in Ron's parent's basement at the time. Our intent was to include it, along with other originals and covers, on a demo tape, which was to be distributed for promotion. It was one of the few tracks that were worth distributing. All in all, not bad for a basement recording. Lyrics Maria. Don't love me. Take a little time and think about what you need. Maria. I'm no good for you. Your folks don't like my kind; their blood is too blue. Maria. Why can't you see? I can't have a girl like you believing in me. Maria. Won't you let me be? Can't you see your breaking my heart? I got to set you free. 'Cause we are, we are from different worlds. You're such a sweet and lovely young girl. Don't waist your time on a guy like me. Take a look around and tell me what you see. The whole world's at your feet. Don't blow it on me.
