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)
