Karaoké Take a Letter Maria Doug Stone

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

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

I gonna start a new life

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

And try to build a good life

All work

And no play

Has just cost me a wife

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

I gonna start a new life

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

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

I gonna start a new life

Take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer

I gotta start a new life

So take a letter Maria

Address it to my wife

Say I won't be coming home

I gonna start a new life
