Love is Work

Valentine's Day is around the corner and romance is in the air. I learned romance is relationship does not come from a storybook because there is work to be done. One of our favorite songs that Clifford & I love to sing is Gwen Stefani & Akon call “ The Sweet Escape”. Here are the lyrics to the song has some truth to it when you sing it.

[Gwen]

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?

There is a story to this song and couple is fighting because of not closing the refrigerator door. Sometimes we couples fight on little things can make the relationships go sour.

[CHORUS]

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)

This is sooo true with couples. Sometimes we want to escape to a perfect world but we as couples need to work it out in our relationship. Gwen tells Akon her guy in this song would it be sweet and Akon apologize to his girl.

[Akon]

I want to get away, to our sweet escape

I want to get away, yeah

[Gwen]

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, wanna take you with me

Gwen tell her guy Akon in this song that she was hurt by him. Gwen says let get out of this mess and come to common ground. Sometimes things get crazy and come and save me from this mess and don't leave me. ( A girl should not say don't leave me because she has to be strong and think for yourself if she is happy or if she needs to move on).

[CHORUS]

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)

This is Clifford & I favorite part of the song

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?

[CHORUS]

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

When I think of love which I think of the truth to it and at times it is not easy to love someone. When I was younger which I would watch all these princess movies and Cinderella would fall in love and her Prince Charming they would be happily ever after. Wrong? Why did they ever they made Cinderella 2. The next part of Cinderella life when she has kiddos of her own? What do you think Prince Charming thought of Cinderella messy hair days or her bad days?

Sometimes we have our bad days and good days as couple. I like the Shrek movies instead because there is real life to those character as fiction moves. Remember love is not easy but the real love is loving each other and working it out even until the end of time.
