Duke Special - Rita De Acosta lyrics

Rita de Acosta They were under your spell The soldiers, the saints and the sad millionaires They only wanted love But that was never enough for Rita de Acosta In a room at the Ritz Philosophers, poets, artists and wits They'd laugh into the night What a strange and wonderful life She was the one A living work of art She was the one who never gave her heart away Rita, Mercedes and Ada who flew Young, bored and rich with not much to do When you've got dollars to burn You can do what you want But what is it you want? She was the one A walking work of art She was the one who never gave her heart away Rita de Acosta Alone in the Gotham Bankrupt and broken and all but forgotten If she had just found love She'd have known that that was enough She was the one A dying work of art She was the one who never gave her heart away She just could not give her heart away
