jimmy ruffin - take a letter maria lyrics

[verse 1]
last night as i got home, about half+past ten
there was the woman i thought i knew
in the arms of another man
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, oh yeah, address it to my wife
say i won’t be coming home, baby, gonna start a new life
so take a letter maria, yeah, yeah, address it to my wife
send a copy to my lawyer, i gotta start a new life

[verse 2]
you’ve been many things, but most of all, a good secrеtary to me
and it’s times like this, i feel you’vе always been close to me
was i wrong to work nights to try to build a good life
seems that all work and no play has just cost me a wife

[chorus]
so take a letter maria, ooh, address it to my wife
say i won’t be coming home, i gotta 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
[verse 3]
when a man loves a woman that way, it’s hard to understand
that she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
i’ve 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, ooh baby, address it to my wife
say i won’t be coming home, i gotta 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

come on, grab your pencil and paper oh, address it to my wife
send a copy to her lawyer, gotta start a new life
pick up your pen, told her, take a letter maria, come on, address it to my wife
maybe together baby, we can start a new life

come on maria, pick up your pencil, take some paper
oh baby, maybe we can start a new life
