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)
