GWEN STEFANI
"The Sweet Escape"
(Gwen Stefani / Aliaune "Akon" Thiam / Giorgio Tuinfort)

[Akon:]
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo

[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 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 (Escape)
And recreate a place that's my own world (Own world)
And I could be your favorite girl, forever
Perfectly together
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

If I could be sweet (Be sweet)
I know I've been a real bad girl (Bad girl)
(I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt

(So ever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

[Akon:]
Woo-hoo, (I want to get away) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (To our sweet escape) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (I want to get away) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (Yeah) yee-hoo

[Gwen Stefani:]
You melt 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 gettin' a little lazy
Waitin' on you to come save me

I can see that you're angry
By the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Wanna take you with me

If I could escape (Escape)
And recreate a place that's my own world (Own world)
And I could be your favorite girl, forever
Perfectly together
And, tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

If I could be sweet (Be sweet)
I know I've been a real bad girl (Bad girl)
(I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt

(So ever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

[Akon:]
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo (If I could escape)
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo (If I could escape)
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo

[Gwen Stefani:]
'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 (Escape)
And recreate a place that's my own world (Own world)
And I could be your favorite girl, forever
Perfectly together
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

If I could be sweet (Be sweet)
I know I've been a real bad girl (Bad girl)
(I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt

(So ever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape)

[Akon:]
Woo-hoo, (I wanna get away) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (To our sweet escape) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (I wanna get away) yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, (Yeah) yee-hoo

Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
Woo-hoo, yee-hoo
