Take a Letter Maria Songtext
von R.B. Greaves

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 ya what happened then.
I packed some clothes and I walked out .and I ain't goin′ back again.

So take a letter Maria.address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home.gotta 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
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it′s time 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.gotta start a new life
Take a letter Maria.address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have 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
Ohhhh, Take a letter Maria.address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer.Gonna have a new life
Take a letter Maria.address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home.fade out
