Anita, why you gotta be in Providence tonight?
Providence tonight
Anita, why you gotta be away?
Anita baby
There is something I gotta say
When I met you I felt a love that can never fade away
Tonight I was hoping
To get you all alone
But now you're miles and miles away
And I can only touch you by telephone
Anita, why you gotta be in Providence tonight?
Providence tonight
Anita, why you gotta be away?
(Away, away, away)
Why'd you have to go away?
Well I bought her flowers
Spent my last few dimes
Anita left town right around suppertime
And now she's in Providence
She ain't coming home, no no
So I'll just sit here with my banjo all alone
Anita, why you gotta be in Providence tonight?
Providence tonight
Anita, why you gotta be away?
(Away, away, away)
Lost in Providence anyway
I need a lovin(?)
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
I need a lovin
Anita your lovin
Anita, why you gotta be in Providence tonight?
Providence tonight
Anita, why you gotta be away?
