The Sweet Escape Lyrics

Lyric discussion by carlyess 

Cover art for The Sweet Escape lyrics by Gwen Stefani

I think it's funny how people always assume the artist is writing about themselves!! I always thought that she was singing about how naive some girls can be when they get into relationships. I think she's saying that sometimes girls can fall out of reality and into the sweet escape fantasy land where everything will be perfect and it will work out forever (tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?). I also think its about the games we play trying to look innocent and bad at the same time and how we can sometimes get too dependent on the guy were with. Gwen herself is a pretty independent woman so that's why I think she would be writing about what i guessed! Could be wrong tho and this is my first comment!
