Lyrics

[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

[PreChorus]

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

(Escapade) We'll have a good time

(Escapade) Leave your worries behind

(Escapade) Well, you could be mine

(Escapade) An escapade

[PreChorus]

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

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

[Bridge]

Minneapolis

[Chorus]

(Escapade) We'll have a good time

(Escapade) Leave your worries behind

(Escapade) Well, you could be mine

(Escapade) An escapade

[Bridge]

My mind's tired, worked so hard

Worked so hard all week

I just got paid, I've got it made, 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 (On an escapade, baby)

Take the escapade

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

[Outro]

(Escapade) 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

On an escapade, baby
