Franky Perez - Bella Maria lyrics

The first time we met I lit a cigarette In a dive bar in downtown TJ I ordered two shots Dropped a dime in the jukebox And played 3Life By The Drop2 by Stevie Ray She was eighteen years old Young and out of control A Catholic school girl with ruby red lips With that she pulled me close Said Baby let's toast to meeting you in a place like this Oh Bella Maria Was raised in East L.A My Spanish rose from Mexico Who stole my heart in TJ The years have gone by But from time to time I still think of that night we shared The last I heard she'd married divorced Livin' not too far from here Then one day in the Cuban caf?
