The Sweetest Thing movie - Escape (The Pina Colada Song) lyrics

Song by Rupert Holmes<br /><br>

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.<br>

Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.<br>

So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.<br>

And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:<br>

<br>

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.<br>

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.<br>

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.<br>

I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."<br>

<br>

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.<br>

But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.<br>

So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.<br>

And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.<br>

<br>

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.<br>

I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.<br>

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.<br>

At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."<br>

<br>

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.<br>

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.<br>

It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."<br>

And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..<br>

<br>

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.<br>

And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.<br>

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. <br>

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."<br>

<br>

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.<br>

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.<br>

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.<br>

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."<br>
