Listen to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's dreamy new duet, 'Purple Irises'
"No, I never knew a love like this / Now I'm picking purple irises."
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have released their dreamy new duet, "Purple Irises."
The couple throws things back in their respective pre-choruses, with Stefani singing, "It's not 1999 / But this face is still mine / The way you look at me / I swear my heart hits rewind."
Shelton, later in the song, sings, "It's not 2014 / But you still look good in those jeans / Lookin' in the mirror /Do you see what I see?"
They come together in the chorus, singing, "But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you / Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you / If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you / Don't let 'em change your mind / Wonder why you took a risk / On a broken heart you cannot fix / No, I never knew a love like this / Now I'm picking purple irises."
