If I Was A Drink

Do you pine for me the most?

If I was a drink I’d be a Pina Colada,

Because I’m sweet like cocoa,

Nutty by nature,

If you were a drink you’d be a Porn Star Martini,

Because you can’t keep your eye off anyone in a bikini—

Flavours aside,

I’ll take you in my stride,

Do you think I’ve done this before?

They have a sip of me:

They often want more—

I can find things intoxicating,

But I’m more about invigorating,

So if I was a drink I’d be a Pina Colada,

Because when I love someone I can pine like anything:

Do you pine for me the most?

Think I’ll be a bit of fun because I’m exotic?

I’m looking for something deeper than erotic,

So look further than the coast—

If I was a drink I’d be a Pina Colada,

Because I’m bright like sunshine,

And strong like nature and rum,

If you were a drink you’d be a Sex On The Beach, yeah!

You want to wash me up,

And drown me in kisses—

Flavours aside,

I’d rather go with the tide,

Do you think I’ve done this before?

They have a sip of me:

They often want more—

I can find things intoxicating,

But I’m more about invigorating,

So if I was a drink I’d be a Pina Colada,

Because when I love someone I can pine like anything:

Do you pine for me the most?

Think I’ll be a bit of fun because I’m exotic?

I’m looking for something deeper than erotic,

So look further than the coast—

Pineapples and coconuts:

Stubborn on the outside;

Light on the inside,

Trust me, love: I’m not just a drink;

Pina Colada is stronger than you think!

But sometimes I envy the Blue Lagoon:

It’s crystal vodka with lemonade fizz,

I wish I could just dive in the blue,

To cool down a little,

Get away from the brightness—

Flavours aside,

I’ll maintain my pride,

Do you think I’ve done this before?

They have a sip of me:

They often want more—

I can find things intoxicating,

But I’m more about invigorating,

So if I was a drink I’d be a Pina Colada,

Because when I love someone I can pine like anything:

Do you pine for me the most?

Think I’ll be a bit of fun because I’m exotic?

I’m looking for something deeper than erotic,

So look further than the coast—
