Here I stand behind the lights
And I'll sing my songs again tonight
I'll sing for my Anna Maria
But she's not listenin' and I can see
That someone else is on her mind not me
Still I'll sing for my Anna Maria
(Anna Maria) she sits there with him and so unconcerned
(Anna Maria) how can I tell her with a song how my heart yearns
I sing my song and then I wait
The applause I get from the crowd is great
Every table but one Anna Maria's
She just sits there holdin' his hand
And I can't stand to see her love another man
I won't share my Anna Maria
I leave the stage and with my knife
I take the breath away from my darling's life
I won't share my Anna Maria
That's why I'm here behind these walls
And each night it seems I can hear her call
And I sing for my Anna Maria
Anna Maria she just sits there so unconcerned
Anna Maria uh huh huh
