Rita Valentine

Wanna tell you about a friend of mine

Her name is

Rita Valentine

Every summer night you can find her dancin'

Barefoot under a front porch light

All the boys would bring her flowers and wine

I'd be singin' when they drove by

If you get a hold of

Rita then you better run for your life

She will lead you on one hell of a ride

When you need her, she will tell you goodbye

You know it's hard to hold on to

Rita Valentine

Well, I saw

Jimmy RayHe just knows the same today

He an' Rita, lost someplace together

Now she's wearin' a brand new

MinkHe said "It feels so sweet that sugar taste"

If you ask him, he will say" If you get a hold of Rita then you better run for your lifeShe will lead you on one hell of a rideWhen you need her, she will tell you goodbyeYou know it's hard to hold on to Rita Valentine "

We used to laugh at the games she played

But when laughin' comes last

Your heart pays the cost and you wait

If you get a hold of

Rita, you better run for your life

She will lead you on one hell of a ride

When you need her, she will tell you goodbye

You know, it's hard to hold on to

Rita Valentine

Let me tell you about a friend of mine
