Who's gonna tell Maria he won't be home Who's gonna tell Maria she's now alone Tell her the life he wanted took him away Tell her there's no use living for yesterday Hush hush Maria Hush Maria They say it's best they say Hush hush Maria hush Maria It had to end this way Who's gonna tell Maria he won't return Who's gonna tell Maria that love can burn Tell her that love so simple could never be Tell her that she was looking but could not see Who's gonna tell Maria And tell her son Tell them they lost a man They never won Who's gonna tell Maria He won't be home He was the kind of man No-one could own
