[Verse 1]
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
You get annoyed
You buy a flat, you hide behind the mat
But I know she was born to do everything
Wrong before our love died
But I know she was born to do everything
Wrong before our love died

[Chorus]
Maria Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, better, better
Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better

[Verse 2]
She has give out a soul to the devil
But the devil gave his soul to God
She has give out a soul to the devil
But the devil gave his soul to God
Before the flood, after the flood
Before you can't see
She has given her soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
She has given her soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
[Chorus]
Maria Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, better, better
Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better

[Verse 3]
Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
You eat the food, you go ahead
You wake up on your head
But I love her face 'cause it has nothing to do with all I said
But I love her face 'cause it has nothing to do with all I said

[Chorus]
Maria Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, better, better
Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
