tv show - 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 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. Chorus 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 Chorus 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 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
