ESCAPE (THE PINA COLADA SONG)
Rupert Holmes 1979 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 Pina 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 lady 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 ad. And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad. "Yes, I like Pina 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 Pina 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 love that I've looked for, Come with me, and escape." "If you like Pina 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 lady you've looked for, Write to me, and escape." |

Over by the window
There's a pack of cigarettes Not my brand, you understand Sometimes the girl forgets She forgets to hide them I know who left those smokes behind She'll say, "Oh he's just a friend" And I'll say, "Oh, I'm not blind to Him, him, him What's she gonna do about him She's gonna have to do without him Or do without me, me, me No one gets to get it for free It's me or it's him Don't know what he looks like Don't know who he is Don't know why, she thought that I Would say what's mine is his I don't want to own her But I can't let her have it both ways Three is one too many of us She leaves with me, or says with Him, him, him What's she gonna do about him She's gonna have to do without him Or do without me, me, me No one gets to get it for free It's me or it's him Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh If she wants to, she can have him Just exactly how we once were It's goodbye to you and I Back to her and I without Him, him, him What's she gonna do about him She's gonna have to do without him Or do without me, me, me Not one gets to get it for free Time for me to make the girl see It's me or it's him, him, him What's she gonna do about him She's gonna have to do without him Or do without me, me, me |

I don't need you
I don't need you half as much As you need me And I thank my lucky stars That you have freed me 'Cause I'm losing weight at last Losing weight and losing sleep And losing my mind fast I don't need you I don't miss you in the way I expected I have time to clean the sink And feel neglected Will I call you up? I won't I forgot your number 6364831 And I don't need you I don't need you like my life depended on it You're gone, you're gone, you're gone It only affects me in the hours When I need you, I need you But I don't want you I do crosswords And I'm weaving a basket And I'd never take you back Unless you ask it I don't need you I don't need you like my life depended on it You're gone, you're gone, you're gone It only affects me in the hours When I need you, I need you But I don't love you I don't love you like With whom you are living Only twenty times as much And all's forgiven If you'd come by today So that I can have you near forever while I say That I don't need you, I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you Need you Need you Need you |

I arise to the 5 AM skies
Left over from yesterday With a moan I reach out for the phone It's her says, she's on her way And fifteen minutes later I hear the elevator I gave her my apartment key So she eases in and lies with me Pay my way with a nine to five day She's working a midnight grind Dressed in white by the dawn's eerie light She reaches my cobwebbed mind She brews us up some coffee And pulls the covers off me I grab her wrist and pull her near And the night begins to clear Morning man, doesn't take much to wake me Just you shake your morning man I've been dreaming of how you'll wake me Since this endless night began So curl up with your early riser In my eyes you see the plan You'll catch up on your sleep this evening And I'll be your morning man Eight at night in the last of the light I wander back home again Time is cheap 'cause I know she's asleep And out for the count 'til ten And when she's finally wakin' I'll fix some eggs and bacon She'll say, "Goodnight, I'm late again" I'll say, "Goodnight, I'll wait" Morning man, doesn't take much to wake me Just you shake your morning man I've been dreaming of how you'll wake me Since this endless night began So curl up with your early riser In my eyes you see the plan You'll catch up on your sleep this evening And I'll be your morning man |

A little while ago I went and placed a call
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing I was willing to tie the knot So i called her up, and this is the answer I got... *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine Leave your name and number And I'll try and get back to you You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw And I said, "Baby lets go get married. I need to know you're mine! I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on this line And if I can leave one message Before you go to bed, I would say to you..." *BEEP* And the phone went dead So I stepped down to buy some dog food for the cat Of course she called about three minutes after that Will she be my wife and share my life? Well of course she can write the plot Cause she called my up, and this is the answer she got *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine Leave your name and number And I'll try and get back to you You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw And she said, "Baby I got your message. Well I'm answering your call. I have thought it out, I have thought it out and I think that all in all If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time then my answer is..." *BEEP* and the phone went *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine *Continue 1 more time* |
