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

Her name is
