The Sweet Escape

Gwen Stefani

If I could escape I would but, first of all, let me say

I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way

‘Cause I’ve been acting like your milk all on the floor

It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator

Maybe tha’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world

And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together

Tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet

(Sorry boy)

I know I’ve been a real bad girl

(I’ll try to change)

I didn’t mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)

We can make it better

Tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

I want to get away to our sweet escape

I want to get away, yeah

You held me down, I’m at my lowest boiling point

Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint

Come on let’s bounce, counting on you to turn me around

Instead of clowning around, let’s look for some common ground

So baby, times get a little crazy

I’ve been getting a little lazy waiting on you to come save me

I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me

Hopefully you don’t leave me, wanna take you with me

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world

And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together

And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet

(Sorry boy)

I know I’ve been a real bad girl

(I’ll try to change)

I didn’t mean for you to get hurt whatsoever

We can make it better

And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

If I could escape, if I could escape

‘Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor

It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator

Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?

If I could escape and recreate a place that’s my own world

And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together

And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(The sweet escape)

If I could be sweet

(Sorry boy)

I know I’ve been a real bad girl

(I’ll try to change)

I didn’t mean for you to get hurt whatsoever

We can make it better

And tell me boy now wouldn’t that be sweet?

(Sweet escape, sweet escape)

I want to get away to our sweet escape

I want to get away, yeah
