| Last night as I got home, about half-past ten
|
| There was the woman I thought I knew
|
| In the arms of another man
|
| 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, oh yeah, address it to my wife
|
| Say I won’t be coming home, baby, gonna start a new life
|
| So take a letter Maria, yeah, yeah, address it to my wife
|
| Send a copy to my lawyer, I 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
|
| Seems that all work and no play has just cost me a wife
|
| So take a letter Maria, ooh, address it to my wife
|
| Say I won’t be coming home, I 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’ve 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, ooh baby, address it to my wife
|
| Say I won’t be coming home, I 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
|
| Come on, grab your pencil and paper oh, address it to my wife
|
| Send a copy to her lawyer, gotta start a new life
|
| Pick up your pen, told her, take a letter Maria, come on, address it to my wife
|
| Maybe together baby, we can start a new life
|
| Come on Maria, pick up your pencil, take some paper
|
| Oh baby, maybe we can start a new life |
