I won tickets to Gwen Stefani last year from some Singtel/Nokia draw. Who knew? I'd never won lucky draw in my life! So I took my sister to the concert, under my mom's orders - I entered the draw with HER ticket. I remember feeling so sick and nauseous that day I almost didn't wanna go, but a good thing I did. It was my second time seeing Gwen Stefani perform and she's just as gorgeous as last when I saw her live. It was a Double Bill concert featuring No Doubt and The Cranberries (faints!).

I loved every minute of the Sweet Escape concert, and the part that blew me away was when she did my favourite "The Real Thing" with her bassist Gail Ann Dorsey (she used to perform with David Bowie) singing a verse too. I was blown away by Gail's voice, it gave me goosebumps and it was amazing. Sometimes I still watch youtube videos of that performance. I wish I had a voice like that.

I love this song.

I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around

I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around

And you're the one I want and it's not just a phase
And you're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time

You're a salty water, ocean wave
You knock me down, you kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around

And heavens knows what will come next
So emotional, you're so complex
A rollercoaster, built to crash
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want and it's not just a phase
and you're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time (it's only you and I)

It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I need you, you're my love supply

Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I want you to stay
In my life (every day, every night)
Don't go away
My lover (you're my love supply)
I need you, you're my love supply
