3.Escape

Lyricist:Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a one hour recording
Of a favorite song

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

If you like Pina Coldas
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
Then 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 kinda mean
Well, me and my old lady
Had fallen into that 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 Coldas
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'Maley's
Where we'll plan our escape

So I waited with high hopes
And 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, 'Aw, it's you'
And we laughed for a moment
And I said, 'I never knew'

â½That you liked Pina Coldas
And getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagneâ

â½If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escapeâ

If you like Pina Coldas
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
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Come with me and escape
