Lyrics

Verse 1
I am not Gilda, I am Rita
I’m not the one you’re thinking of
And when we met you thought you’d meet her,
And it was she who’d fall in love

Chorus 1
And when she fell into your arms
You thought that you had won the world
And when she fell for all your charms
That’s when you knew that she was just a girl named Rita.

Verse 2
I am not guilty, I am Rita
But I can bring her out you see
If you want life to be a theatre,
But Rita comes back eventually

Chorus 2
Don’t want to ruin your good night
I’ll tell you all you want to hear
Pretend to put up a good fight
But in the morning, all you’ve left’s a girl named Rita.

Verse 3
You think I’m Gilda, but I’m Rita
The two are not one in the same,
One of us hurts when we are wounded,
And one exists within a frame

Chorus 3
Don’t you want someone who can feel
Color instead of black and white
You want the image, not what’s real
Not what you see in the stark of daylight

Chorus 4
And when I fell into your arms
I thought that I had won the world
And when I fell for all your charms
That’s when I knew that I was just a girl named Rita.
