[Verse 1]
              
I was tired of

           
 my lady
            
 We'd been tog

         
ether too long
          
 Like a worn o

             
ut recording
       
 Of a favorite

    |    |
 song

             
 So while she 

         
lay there slee

     
pin'
           
 I read the pa

        
per in bed
           
 And in the pe

 There was thi

ña coladas
            
 And gettin' c

 If you're not

 If you have h

             
alf a brain 

            
 If you like m

           
akin' love at 

        
midnight
       
 In the dunes 

           
of a cape
             
 Then I'm the 

          
love that you'

[Verse 2]
              
I didn't think

                 
 about my lady
            
 I know that s

        
ounds kind of

 But me and my

 Had fallen in
