Message From Maria - Original - Joe Simon

Don’t break me, I bruise easily

The source of both your love and misery

I am steady beating endlessly

While you are dozing

Dreaming pretty things

I don’t work for free

Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart

Your most devoted body part

Taking blood and making art

This is a message from your heart

Pounding away into the dark

You could thank me for a start

This is a message from your heart

Don’t hurt me, I bleed constantly

My effort to leave me blood flow back swiftly

My rhythm soothing like rain drops steady

On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly

I don’t work for free

Please take care of me

Every time you sleep

Bum bum bum bum

Every time you eat

Bum bum bum bum

Every time you laugh

This is a message from your heart

(bum bum bum bum)

Your most devoted body part

(bum bum bum bum)

Taking blood and making art

(bum bum bum bum)

Every time you cry

This is a message from your heart

(bum bum bum bum)

Pounding away into the dark

(bum bum bum bum)

You could thank me for a start

(bum bum bum bum)

This is a message from your heart

(bum bum bum bum)

Every time you love

(bum bum bum bum)

This is a message from your heart

(bum bum bum bum)

This is a message from your heart
