Lyrics:
I was tired of my baby
We'd been together too long
Like a worn out recording
Of a favorite song

While I lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

"If you like piña coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
And 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 baby
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old baby
Had fallen into the same old dull routine

So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
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
And he walked in the place
I knew his smile in an instant
I knew the curve of his face
It was my own lovely baby
And he said, "Aw, it's you"
Then 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 of champagne
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
You're the love I've looked for
Come with me and escape"
