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 |
