Rupert Holmes Escape Lyrics

I was tired of my lady,
We've been together too long
Like a worn-out recording,
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping,
I read the paper in bed
And in the personals column,
There was this letter I read:

If you like Piña Coladas,
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga,
If you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight,
In the dunes on the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for,
Write to me, and escape

I didn't think about my lady,
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady,
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper,
Took out a personal add
And though I'm nobody's poet,
I thought it wasn't half-bad

Yes, I like Piña Coladas,
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food,
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon,
And cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's,
Where we'll plan our escape

So I waited with high hopes,
Then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant,
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady,
And she said, Ah, it's you
And we laughed for a moment,
And I said, I never knew

That you liked Piña Coladas,
And getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean,
And the taste on champagne
If you like making love at midnight,
In the dunes of the cape
You're the lady I've looked for,
Come with me, and escape

If you like Piña Coladas,
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga,
If you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight,
In the dunes on the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for,
Write to me, and escape
