I must have been out of my mind
Tell me where was I ever gonna find
Another girl with a love so true
She's the best girl that I ever knew

I was a fool I was out of whack
But you know what I would do if she would take me back

Chorus:
I'd go running back to Rita
Just as fast as I could
Running back to Rita
'Cause her love was so good
I know Rita don't love me no more
But Rita is the girl I shoulda never let go

I told Rita she was not the one
And that she'd be better off without me in the long run
She moved on she got over me
Yeah but now I'm the one with the misery

I was a fool I was out of whack
But you know what I would do if she would take me back

(repeat chorus)

And I know true happiness lies within
But if that girl would let me come on home
I'd be smiling again

(repeat chorus)
