Dear Maria, Count Me In (Live From MTV Unplugged)

[Intro]

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

Get your hands up

[Verse 1]

When the lights go up

I want to 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Live and let live

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

[Chorus]

'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

[Bridge]

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

The cash flow leaves me

Always wanting more

[Chorus]

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

So 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

[Outro]

'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

Thank you
