Lyrics

Let me tell you about a friend of mine
Her name is rita valentine
Every summer night you can find her dancin'
Barefoot under her 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
Boy 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 ray
He just knows the same today
He an' rita, went off someplace together
Now she's wearin' a brand new name
He says her kiss is sweeter than sugar cane
If you ask him, he will say:

If you get a hold of rita
Boy 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

We used to laugh at the games she played
But when love becomes lost, your heart pays the cost, anyway

If you get a hold of rita
Boy 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 rita valentine
