Last night when I got home,
There was a 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 my bags and I walked out,
and I ain't goin' back again
Say I won't be comin' home,
Send a copy to my lawyer,
I'm gonna start a new life
When a man loves a woman,
That she could find more pleasure
in the arms of another man
Once I slaved and worked nights,
tried to build a good life
So I'll take a lamp, a ring,
I'm gonna start a new life
So I'll take a lamp, a ring,
Say they can't beat you by the new life,
I'm gonna start a new life
You've been many things, but most of all,
I feel you've always been close to me.
You're looking pretty fine,
Marie, with your pants around your knees.
It just so happens I'm free tonight. I
would like to have dinner with me.
Say I won't be coming home.
I gotta start a new life.
And you address it to that
bitch I used to sleep with.
You tell my pig I ain't comin' home tonight
I gotta start a new life with you,
Ah, you were dressin' down to sweat
You tell that dark, horrible woman
I ain't comin' home tonight
Not tonight, not tomorrow
Ah, I'm dressin' down to cold
Soon we'll be comin' home
I gotta start a new life, a new life
Take a letter, put in a...
If you wrap that thing around a brick
And you throw it through the
fuckin' front window, baby
I'm gonna start a new life
I'm gonna start a new life
