| (m. riperton e. brown r. rudolph) | |
| I'll tell you a story about love and its glory | |
| Of how when you're true to your heart you'll be free | |
| Picture a tropical paradise | |
| Folks just like you and me | |
| A young girl called maya | |
| Was loved by aliya | |
| A young man who came from a poor family | |
| As they grew older | |
| Aliya would hold her | |
| Together they dreamed of the day they'd marry | |
| It'sa lonely world my children | |
| You've got to do the best you can | |
| If you've found a chance to love | |
| You'd better grab it any way you can | |
| Young maya's father | |
| Decided his daughter | |
| Should marry a man with lots of money | |
| She begged and she pleaded | |
| Aliya she needed | |
| Now maya's crying on her wedding day | |
| It's a lonely world my children | |
| You've got to do the best you can | |
| If you've found a chance to love | |
| You'd better grab it any way you can | |
| Picture a tropical paradise | |
| Folks just like you and me | |
| Down come aliya | |
| And scooped up the bride from the place | |
| Where she stands at the ceremony | |
| The minister backed up | |
| The father, he cracked up | |
| The groom, him fell down to the ground on his knees |
