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 goln‘ back again.
So, take a letter, Maria. Address it to my wife.
Say I won’t be coming home, gotta start a new life.
So, 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?
It seems that 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.
So, 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 that way 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 l’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, gotta start a new life.
So, take a letter, Maria. Address it to my wife.
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life.
