Take a Letter Maria (Rerecorded)

Last night as I got home about a half past ten There was a woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man I kept my cool I ain't no fool lemme tell you what I happened then I packed some clothes and I walked out and I ain't goin' back again So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife Sayin' I won't be coming home gotta start a new life So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer gotta start a new life You been many things but most of all a good secretary to me And in times like this I feel that you'll always be close to me Was I wrong to work nights to try to fill a good life? All work and no play it's just caused me a wife So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife... Sayin' I won't be coming home gotta start a new life So take a letter Maria addressed 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 no pleasure in the arms of another man Maria I never really noticed just how sweet you are to me It just all happenes I'm free tonight would you like a dinner with me? So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife Say I won't be coming home gotta start a new life So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer gotta start a new life
