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 When the lights go up I wanna 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 '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 Doesn't that mean 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 '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, whoa 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 'cause the cash flow leaves me Always wanting more '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 '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
