Rita Lyrics by Ashley Monroe

Sparrow

2018

How are you, Rita?
How are you, Rita?
Are you too tired to even try?
How are you, Rita?
Who's got you, Rita?
I'm too in love to let it die

I don't know what it's like to live in your world
Don't know what it means to you, but I want to
Don't know what it's like to wrestle your ghosts
I just hope you know that I want to
'Cause I need you

How are you, Rita?
How are you, Rita?
Are you still puttin' up a fight?
Where are you, Rita?
Talk to me, Rita
I couldn't lose you if I tried

Don't know what it's like to dream in your head
Don't know who you're thinkin' of, but I want to
What is it like under your skin?
Do you feel it when they touch you?
Does it get through?

Time's always changin' everything
That's what time's supposed to do
We're gettin' older, pictures are fading
Nothing changes what we've been through

How are you, Rita?
How are you, Rita?
Are you too proud to even try?
How are you, Rita?
I'm right here, Rita
I'm too in love to let it die
I'm too in love to let it die
