At school they taught her
To always pray real hard
Then God would come and give
Some peace to her heart

But with her unborn son
Hidden in a bin
She couldn't pray no more
Cause where should she begin

And now she wants love
She don't want pain
She sits and dreams and
She's waiting for a sign
From the Very Holy God
High up in the air
Saying to Maria
Girl, I do care

She knows just what she's done
And that she lives in sin
But something just went wrong
A fight she could not win

Although she begged him no
And God did not come down
The angels in her head
They made her wedding-gown

And now she wants love
She don't want pain
She kneels down and
She's waiting for a sign
Her mummy threw her out
Her dad he spat on her
The unholy Maria
Discarded girl

And now she wants love
She don't want pain
She sits and prays and
She's waiting for a sign
From the Holy God
To get off his cloud and hurl
Shouting to Maria
You kick ass, girl
