Take a Letter, Maria (Greaves)
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 going
back again
CHORUS:
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,
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 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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
So take a letter Maria,
address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
