Bobby Angel - 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 you what happened then
I packed some clothes and walked out
And I ain't going back again

Take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
I'm gonna start a new life
So take a letter, Maria
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?
I tried to build a good life
All work and no play
Has just cost me a wife

Take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
I'm gonna start a new life
So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
I gotta start a new life

When a man loves a woman
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 I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me?

Take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
I'm gonna start a new life
So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
I gotta start a new life

Take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
I'm gonna start a new life
So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
I gotta start a new life
