[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

[Hook]
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
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

[Hook]
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!

Janet Jackson

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
