Take A Letter Maria Lyrics

TAKE A LETTER MARIA







Last night as I got home about a half past ten



There was the woman I thought I knew



In the arms of another man



I kept my cool, I ain't no fool



Let me tell you what happened then



I packed some clothes and I walked out



And I ain't going back again







So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life



So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life







You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me



And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me



Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life



All work and no play has just cost me a wife







So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life



So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life







When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand



That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man



I never really noticed how sweet you are to me



It just so happens I'm free tonight



Would you like to have dinner with me







So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life



So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life







So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife



Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
