Escape (The Pina Colada Song) Lyrics

I was tired of my lady, we'd 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 of 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, 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, 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, "Oh, 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 of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the lady that 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 of the cape

What is the Meaning of Escape (The Pina Colada Song)?

A playful and whimsical tale of rediscovery, Rupert Holmes' iconic track is a testament to the power of spontaneity in reigniting passion. The lyrics tell a story of a man seeking an escape from monotony, only to realize that the thrill he craves lies within his own relationship. It's a serendipitous journey where both partners, unknowingly, reconnect through personal ads. The song emphasizes that sometimes, we don't know our partners as well as we think we do - there are always new facets to discover. The Piña Colada and the rain symbolize these unexplored territories of pleasure and adventure waiting to be discovered within familiar bonds. This classic tune reminds us that love doesn't have to be predictable; it can be an exciting 'escape', if only we dare to explore.
