Sweet Escape

About Sweet Escape

"The Sweet Escape" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani from her second studio album of the same name (2006). It was written by Stefani, Akon, and Giorgio Tuinfort. Akon, who is also a featured artist, developed the song's beat before collaborating with Stefani. He designed it based on her previous work with No Doubt, and Stefani later commented that it put her "on the yellow brick road to the No Doubt record I might do". "The Sweet Escape" is an apology for a fight between two lovers and describes a dream of a pleasant life for them. As the album's title track, its title was chosen to help market Stefani's music and fashion lines. "The Sweet Escape" was released as the album's second single on December 19, 2006 and was commercially successful in mainstream and adult contemporary markets. It reached the top 10 of most singles charts and topped the New Zealand Singles Chart. The song was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 50th Grammy Awards. In the song's accompanying music video, Stefani attempts to escape from a golden prison. more »

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

If I could escape 
I would, but first of all let me say 
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk that 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 as my own world 
And I could be your favorite girl 
Forever, perfectly together 
Tell me, boy, now 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 
Tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? 
(Sweet escape)

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

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, let's look for some common ground 

So, baby, times 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 

If I could escape 
And recreate a place as my own world 
And I could be your favorite girl 
Forever, perfectly together 
Tell me, boy, now 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 
Tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? 
(Sweet escape)

Woo hoo, yee hoo
Woo hoo, (If I could escape) yee hoo
Woo hoo, (If I could escape) yee hoo
Woo hoo, yee hoo

Cause I've been acting like sour milk that 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 favorite girl 
Forever, perfectly together 
Tell me, boy, now 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 
Tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? (Sweet escape)

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
