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
Log on to hide ad.
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 coming 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
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
That you'll always be close to me
And was I wrong to work nights
To try to build a good life
All work and no play
Has just cost me a wife
[repeat CHORUS]
When a man loves a woman
It's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure
In the arms of another man
Maria, I never really noticed
Just how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
Whoa, yeah
Take a letter, Maria
Whoa, yeah....
