Take My Love To Rita
Take my love to Rita tell her that much I need her
Why I couldn't meet her like we planned
Tell her that I'm sorry tell her that I'll call her
As soon as I can slip away again
A second hand relation is such a situation anytime
When the one at home is on your back
And the one you love is always on your mind
It's one or the other your wife or your lover
And you're only as safe as your last line
I know that she'd be better if I'd stay away forever
I've just got to see her one more time
Take my love to Rita tell her that much I need her...

It's not so satisfyin' when you had to keep on lyin' all the time
And you know your chance of gettin' caught
Just keeps on gettin' greater all the time
It's one or the other your wife or your lover
And either way the price is always high
I know that she'd be better if I'd stay away forever
I've just got to see her one more time
Take my love to Rita tell her that much I need her...
(Take my love to Tommy tell him that I need him
And ask him why he didn't keep out there
Tell him that I'm sorry please ask him to call me
As soon as he can slip away again)
Take my love to Rita tell her that much I need her...
