�The Sweet Escape�

by Gwen Stefani

Chorus
If I could escape, I would
But first of all, let me say
I must apologise for acting, stinking, treating you this way
�Cause I�ve been acting like sour milk fell 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 in my own world
And I could be your favourite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Now tell me boy, wouldn�t that be sweet

If I could be sweet
I know I�ve been a real bad girl
I didn�t mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Now tell me boy, wouldn�t that be sweet
Sweet escape

I wanna get away, to our sweet escape

You let 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
For some common ground

So baby, time�s getting a little crazy
I�ve been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you�re angry
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don�t leave me
Want to take you with me

(Chorus)

If I could escape

�Cause I�ve been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It�s your fault you didn�t shut the refrigerator
Maybe that�s the reason I�ve been acting so cold

(Chorus)

I wanna get away, to our sweet escape
