Karaoké Take A Letter, Maria R. B. 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 ya what happened then

I packed some clothes an' I walked out an' I ain't goin back again

So take a letter Maria address it to my wife

Say I won't be comin' 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

An' 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

So take a letter Maria, oh address it to my wife

Say I won't be comin' 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

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 comin' home gotta start a new life

So take a letter Maria, oh address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer gotta have a new life

So take a letter Maria address it to my wife

Say I won't be comin' home gotta start a new life
