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 up

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 showgirl of the home team

I'll be the narrator

Telling another tale of the American dream



I see your name in lights

We could 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, whoa



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

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



'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
