Rita Valentine Lyrics - Deana Carter Collection - 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 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 Rita Valentine
