[Lionel Richie]
It'd be so nice
If you didn't have to feel so lonely
It'd be so nice
If I could sneak you for a moment

I know you like to get away, go away, far away
To a place where there's just us two
Got a busy day, everyday but not today
Cause I'm Here to take that stress from you

So you can just chill
And clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal
And make your bed
Well let just first make this with you cause you are so worth it

[Akon]
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)

[Verse 2 : Lionel Richie]
How would you like to sail away in the Bahamas?
(Just you and me girl)
So far out in the sea where nobody can find you
(Just the end of the world)
Cause there is no rush
For you to come back and face the rain
Cause there is plenty sunshine where I pickin' you
And I'm here to reduce the pain

I know you like to get away, go away, far away
To a place where there's just us two
Got a busy day, everyday but not today
Cause I'm Here to take that stress from you
So you can just chill
And clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well let just first make this with you cause you are so worth it

[Akon]
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)

[Lionel Richie]
Just imagine when you tired and
Layin' by my side and
Sippin' on some wine while I stand in massage and
Releasein' all your tension I couldn't handle a time and
My job is to keep my baby smilin'

So you can just chill
And clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well let just first make this with you cause you are so worth it

[Akon]
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
I just want us to go (go go)
Drop everything and just go (go go)
