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]
(Escapade) We'll have a good time
(Escapade) Leave your worries behind
(Escapade) Well, you can be mine
(Escapade) An escapade

[Verse 2]
So don't hold back, just have a good time, oh, yeah
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 (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let's save our troubles for another day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Come go with me, we've got it made (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let me take you on an escapade (On an escapade, baby)
Come on, baby, let's get away (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let's save our troubles for another day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Come go with me, we've got it made (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let me take you on an escapade
Let's go

[Ad lib]
Minneapolis!
Come on, now!

[Refrain]
(Escapade) We'll have a good time
(Escapade) Leave your worries behind
(Escapade) Well, you can be mine
(Escapade) An escapade

[Bridge]
My mind's tired, worked so hard (Ooh, ooh)
Worked so hard all week (Ooh, ooh)
I just got paid, I'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 (Escapade)
Let's save our troubles for another day (Escapade)
Come go with me we've got it made (Escapade)
Let me take you on an escapade (Escapade)
On an escapade, baby
