Take a Letter, Maria

Take a Letter, Maria - Vital Fire

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 I walked out

And I ain't goin' back again

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

Gotta start a new life

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 time like this I feel

You've always been close to me

Was I wrong to work nights

To try to build a good life

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

Gotta start a new life

Take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer

Gotta have 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

Just so happens I'm free tonight

Would you like to have dinner with me

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

Gonna start a new life

So take a letter Maria ohhh

Address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer

Gonna have a new life

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home
