Willy Porter - Rita lyrics

Well, she hobbled up the porch steps With her crutches and her broken leg She missed me with a smile, walked straight across my heart And right on over to Tim I said, "Rita, I tried to call you" Tim looked at me and he said good night I couldn't hold my tears as I stared up at the stars In the August sky I said, "Rita, won't you come on in? Hey, Rita, child, now, where ya been?" She looked out into the night Through the broken porch screen She said she thought that we were closer She expected more from me I said, "Now, honey, I thought about you And all that you'd been through But the day your daddy died now Rita I just didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to do "Rita, I see our trust is gone How long do we have to paay For what's been left undone?" Rita takes her sandals off And walks barefoot in the gra** With one arm around my shoulder As if she were using me for balance I said, "Rita, I'd like to see you Even if we're only friends I know if you forgive me, Rita I'll forget, and you'll remember You always remember"
