The Piña Colada by Rupert Holmes

I was (1)__________ of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn out (2)__________________ of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed
And in the (3)________________ columns, there was this (4)____________ I read

If you like (5)__________ coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not (6)________ yoga, if you have half a brain
If you (7)________ making love at (8)________________ in the dunes of the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
