Take a Letter Maria

[00:06.07] Last night, as I got home about a half past ten
[00:11.99] There was the woman I thought I knew
[00:14.94] In the arms of another man
[00:17.97] I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
[00:20.88] Let me tell ya what happened then
[00:23.60] I packed some clothes and I walked out
[00:26.92] And I ain't goin' back again
[00:29.66] So, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
[00:35.89] Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
[00:41.71] Oh, take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
[00:47.60] Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
[00:53.55] You've been many things, but most of all a good secretary to me
[00:59.42] And it's times like this, I feel you've always been close to me
[01:05.64] Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life
[01:11.17] All work and no play has just cost me a wife
[01:16.95] So, take a letter, Maria, no, address it to my wife
[01:23.44] Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
[01:29.00] Oh, take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
[01:34.77] Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life
[01:40.74] When a man loves a woman, it's hard to understand
[01:46.73] That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
[01:52.73] I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
[01:58.70] It just so happens I'm free tonight
[02:01.87] Would you like to have dinner with me?
[02:04.90] Well, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
[02:10.99] Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
[02:16.01] Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
[02:22.80] Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life
[02:28.60] Well, take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
[02:34.99] Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life, mm
[02:40.93] Take a letter, Maria
