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 aint no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I aint going back again
So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I wont be coming home, gonna start a new life
Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
Youve been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And its times like this I feel youve 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, no, address it to my wife
Say I wont be coming home, gonna start a new life
Oh, 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 its 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 Im free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me
Well, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I wont be coming home, gonna start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
Well, take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
