There was the woman I Dthought I knew
In the arms of another Aman
I kept my cool, I Dain't no fool

I packed some clothes and DI walked out
And I ain't going back a Again
So take a Aletter Maria, Asusad drAess Git to my wife
DSay I won't be coming home, I'm gonna Astart a new lifeAsus  A  
So take a letter Maria, Asusad drAess Git to my wife
Send a Dcopy to my lawyer, gotta Astart a new lifeAsus  A  
You've been Amany things but Dmost of all a good secretary to Ame
And it's times like this DI feel you've always been close to Ame
Was I wrong Dto work nights to try to build a good Alife
All work and Dno play has just cost me a Awife
So take a Aletter Maria, Asusad drAess Git to my wife
