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... [ trumpet ] 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...
