[Verse 1]
I must've been outta my mind
Tell me where was I ever gonna find
Another woman with the love so true
She's the best girl that I ever knew

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a fool, I was outta whack
But you know what I would do if she would take me back

[Chorus]
I'd go runnin' back to Rita just as fast as I could
Runnin' back to Rita 'cause I love her so good
I know Rita don't love me no more
But Rita is the girl I should've never let go
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
I told Rita she was not the one
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
And it hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a fool, I was outta whack
But you know what I would do if she would take me back
[Chorus]
I'd go runnin' back to Rita just as fast as I could
Runnin' back to Rita 'cause I love her so good
I know Rita don't love me no more
But Rita is the girl I should've never let go

[Refrain]
And I know true happiness lies within
But if that girl let me come home, I'd be smilin' again

[Chorus]
I'd go runnin' back to Rita just as fast as I could
Runnin' back to Rita 'cause I love her so good
I know Rita don't love me no more
But Rita is the girl I should've never let
I'd go runnin' back to Rita just as fast as I could
Runnin' back to Rita 'cause I love her so good
I know Rita don't love me no more
But Rita is the girl I should've never let go
Oh, no
What went wrong with me?
What was I thinkin'?

[Outro]
