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
|

Take a Letter, Maria
