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 |
|
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, no, address it to my wife |
|
Say I won't 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 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 |
|
Well, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife |
|
Say I won't 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 |
