Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Escapade
[Verse 1]
As I was walkin' by
Saw you standin' there with a smile
Lookin' shy you caught my eye
Thought you'd want to hang for a while
Well I'd like to be with you
And you know it's Friday too
I hope you can find the time
This weekend to relax and unwind
My mind's tired
I've worked so hard all week
Ooh all week
I cashed my check I'm ready to go
I promise you I'll show you such a good time

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's get away
Let's save our troubles for another day
Come go with me we've got it made
Let me take you on an escapade
Let's go

[Refrain]
Es-ca-pade
We'll have a good time
Es-ca-pade
Leave your worries behind
Es-ca-pade
Well you can be mine
Es-ca-pade
An escapade
[Verse 2]
So don't hold back
Just have a good time
We'll make the rules up
As we go along
And break them all
If we're not havin' fun

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's get away
Let's save our troubles for another day
Come go with me we've got it made
Let me take you on an escapade
On an escapade, baby
Come on, baby, let's get away
Let's save our troubles for another day
Come go with me we've got it made
Let me take you on an escapade
Let's go

[Ad lib]
Minneapolis!
Come on

[Refrain]
Es-ca-pade
We'll have a good time
Es-ca-pade
Leave your worries behind
Es-ca-pade
Well you can be mine
Es-ca-pade
An escapade
[Bridge]
Ooh
My mind's tired, I've..
Ooh
Worked so hard all
Ooh
Worked so hard all week
All week
I just got paid, we've got it made, ready to go
I promise you, I'll show you such a good time

[Outro]
Come on, baby, let's get away
Baby, come on now
Let's save our troubles for another day
Save it for another day
Come go with me we've got it made
Baby, come on, yeah
Let me take you on an escapade
On an escapade, baby
Take the escapade
Come on, baby, let's get away
(Baby, come on now)
Let's save our troubles for another day
(Save it for another day)
Come go with me we've got it made
Go escapade
Let me take you on an escapade
Let's go
Come on, baby, let's get away
Let's save our troubles for another day
Come go with me we've got it made
Let me take you on an escapade
On an escapade, baby!
