I'd Be a Maria

Today I painted seven pictures Each one came out a shade of blue Tonight I lay down my sinking head, and all I thought about was you And people wonder, where is my affection Why does she paint in only blue? I don't go parading my pick of the lot, but quietness, my friend, is my kind of truth They say I'm headed for the hills, where I'll sing at the abbey alone with myself I know that if I was a nun, I'd be a Maria 'cause I'm a hopeless romantic for you Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic for you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh They say I was a hermit in another life And I know I was also a Juliet I prefer rainfall to sunny days, and there's nothing like the ocean and sunset And yes, I value my independence I think, more people should And you can call me the Lonely Queen I guess, I just don't mind being misunderstood They say I headed for the hills, where I'll sing at the abbey alone with myself I know that if I was a nun, I'd be a Maria 'cause I'm a hopeless romantic for you Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic for you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, they wanna say but Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, not today, I don't wanna put my heart out to dry And with that, you're gonna have to be just fine Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Tomorrow I'll paint seven more pictures And each will turn out a shade of blue And I'll just say, "Oh, I love the sky", but you know, I'll be thinking of you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
