Take a Letter Maria Lyrics

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 keep my cool I ain't no fool
let me tell you what happened then
I packes some clothes and I walked out
and I ain't go back again

(refrain)
So take a letter Maria
Adress it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
Gotta start a new life

So take a letter Maria
Adress it to my wife
Sent 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 in times like this I feel
You've been always close to me

Was I wrong to work all nights
to try and build a good life
But all work and no play
has just cost me my wife
(refrain)

When a man loves a woman
It's hard to understand
That she could find more pleasure
in the arms of another man

I never really noticed
how sweet you are to me
It just so happens that I'm free tonight
would you like to have dinner with me

(refrain)
