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...
