Pencils down I helped you for too long
Pencils down I helped you
This is what I get for being wrong
Guess I should've told you, told you
Glance around I told you to pretend
Glance around I told you, told you
This is what I get for being your friend
Guess I should've told you, told you
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Once before I told you this would end
Once before I held you, held you
This is what I get for being wrong
I'm always wrong
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Pencils down I helped you for too long
I helped you things I knew nothing about
I told you the truth yeah you said I was wrong
I'm always wrong, always wrong
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
