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

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
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

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
