I ducked in that little tiki bar
Thinkin' I'd ride out the storm
She was spinnin' pink and yellow paper umbrellas
And holdin' up her hand to have one more

I stood and watched her sippin', cryin'
Flippin' through old pictures on her phone
I said, "Hey, is this seat taken?
I'd sure hate for you to have to drink alone."

She cracked a smile, said, "Sit here if you want."
I said, "I don't mean to pry, but, girl, you're doin' this all wrong

It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer
And get us somethin' stronger
Somethin' that'll work in half the time

'Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
Paper umbrellas look good on top
But they won't stop the rain."

She dropped her straw back in that hourglass
And said, "I guess it's worth a shot."
I said, "Lightnin'. It don't mix with any kind of fishin'
So, girl, I'm guessin' time's all I've got

But tonight you need a friend and nothin' more
I know what helps a heart to heal, girl
I've been there before

It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer
And get us somethin' stronger
Somethin' that'll work in half the time

'Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
Paper umbrellas look good on top
But they won't stop the rain

Yeah, when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, all them pink and yellow paper umbrellas
Look good on top
But they won't stop the rain"
