The Sweet Escape lyrics

Konvicted
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
(Woo hoo, yee hoo) If I could escape ((Woo hoo, yee hoo)
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?
(The sweet escape)
If I could be sweet
Be sweet (Sorry boy)
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
(Whatsoever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
(Woo hoo) I want to get away (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) To our sweet escape (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) I want to get away (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) Yeah (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
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 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?
(The sweet escape)
If I could be sweet
Be sweet (Sorry boy)
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
(Whatsoever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
(Woo hoo) If I could escape (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) If I could escape (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
'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 (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
Be sweet (Sorry boy)
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
(Whatsoever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
(Woo hoo) I want to get away (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) To our sweet escape (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) I want to get away (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo) Yeah (yee hoo) ((Woo hoo) yee hoo))
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
(Woo hoo, yee hoo)
