GWEN STEFANI-THE SWEET ESCAPE


(feat. Akon)


If I Could Escape I Would But,
First Of All, Let Me Say
I Must Apologize For Acting Stank & 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 & Recreate A Place That's My Own World
& I Could Be Your Favourite Girl (forever), Perfectly Together
Tell Me Boy Now Wouldn't That Be Sweet? (sweet Escape)
If I Could Be Sweet, 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 Wouldn't That Be Sweet? (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 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, Wanted You With Me


If I Could Escape & Recreate A Place That's My Own World
& I Could Be Your Favourite Girl (forever), Perfectly Together
& Tell Me Boy Now Wouldn't That Be Sweet? (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)

Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo (if I Could Escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (if I Could Escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo

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 & Recreate A Place That's My Own World
& I Could Be Your Favourite Girl (forever), Perfectly Together
& Tell Me Boy Now Wouldn't That Be Sweet? (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)

Woohoo, Yeehoo (i Wanna Get Away, Get Away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (to Our Sweet Escape)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (i Wanna Get Away)
Woohoo, Yeehoo (yeah)
Woohoo, Yeehoo
Woohoo, Yeehoo

Just Like Heaven

Show me
show me
show me
how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream
she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said
and threw her arms around my neck

show me how you do it
and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...

daylight licked me into shape
i must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
i opened up my eyes
and found myself alone
alone
alone
above a raging sea
that stole the only girl i loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
just like heaven

Your Love


Josie's on a vacation far away
come around and talk it over
so many things that I want to say
you know I like my girls a little bit older


I just wanna use your love tonight
no, I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
no one's around when I'm in trouble
you know I would do anything for you
stay the night, we'll keep it undercover

I just wanna use your love tonight
no, I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'
'cause somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
it's been awhile since we've been all alone
can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you're leaving please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told you
just 'cause you're right don't mean I'm wrong
another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight
no, I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Tonight
tonight

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic


Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

One In A Million

Something about you
Makes me wanna keep on loving you
When I'm without you
I feel I need you back in my arms
I get a sensation
I feel whenever I'm around you
You're my inspiration
And I'm so glad I found you


One in a million-baby you're the one
One in a million-and you're second to none
One in a million-a million to one
You're one in a million

When I first saw you
I had a feeling right from the start
In love I was falling
You seemed to do things to my heart
Your love and affection
Is all I need to keep me satisfied
You leave an impression
Baby I never gonna leave you

One in a million-baby you're the one
One in a million-and you're second to none
One in a million-a million to one
You're one in a million

Something about you
Makes me wanna keep on loving you
When I'm without you
I feel I need you back in my arms
I get a sensation
I feel whenever I'm around you
You're my inspiration
And I'm so glad I found you

One in a million-baby you're the one
One in a million-and you're second to none
One in a million-a million to one
You're one in a million

One in a million-baby you're the one
One in a million-and you're second to none
One in a million-a million to one
You're one in a million

Breathe Your Name


It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same

Is it all inside my head
Is it all inside my head
I view the list
And take my pick
I view my fate
And make a choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine

But you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

So many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the path
To find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
The part of you
That's part of me
Will never die
Will never leave
And it's nobody else's but mine

You are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

You'll view the list
And take your pick
You'll view my fate
And make a choice
'Cause I'm nobody else's but yours

And you're in my heart
I can feel you're beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name

'Cause you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

Oh thinking about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We been down that road before
But that's over now, you keep me coming back for more

Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down

Oh there's lots that I could say but just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

And baby you're all that I want

For something to arrive
For love to come along

Through the good times and the bad

Africa


I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you


It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Breathless

Go on go on
Leave me breathless
Come on

Hey... yeah...

The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch
and I feel weak
I cannot lie,
From you I cannot hide
I'm losing the wealth to try it
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on, go on,
Come on and leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me,
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah...
Come on

Yeah...

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it, don't leave it

So go on, go on,
Come on and leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me,
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah-
Come-...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
Eh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eh, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I can't lie
From you I cannot hide
I've lost my will to try it
Can't hide it, can't fight it,

So go on, go on,
Come on and leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me,
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Let me long for your kiss

Go on, go on,
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on,
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on,
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on!
