Last night as I got home about a half past ten
There was a woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man
I kept my cool I ain't no fool lemme tell you what I happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out and I ain't goin' back again
So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife
Sayin' I won't be coming home gotta start a new life
So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife
Sayin' a copy to my lawyer gotta start a new life
You been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And in times like this I feel that you'll always be close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to fill a good life
All work and no play it's just caused me a wife
So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife...
Well a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
That she would find no pleasure in the arms of another man
Maria I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just all happenes I'm free tonight would you like a dinner with me
So take a letter Maria addressed to my wife...
