Rita Valentine - Deana Carter

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 Ray

He just knows the same today

He an' Rita, lost someplace together

Now she’s wearin' a brand new Mink

He 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 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 laughin' comes last, your heart pays the cost, an 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 Rita Valentine
