Charlene - I've never been to me
[00:06.27] Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
[00:12.91] You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
[00:21.67] I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
[00:28.85] But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[00:36.01] Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
[00:45.05] Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
[00:51.95] But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
[01:00.72] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[01:11.08] Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
[01:17.98] Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
[01:27.02] I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
[01:33.92] Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
[01:41.10] Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:46.34] While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:49.79] I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
[01:56.97] I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
[02:01.75] That a woman ain't s'posed to see
[02:06.00] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[02:16.89] Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie, a fantasy we create about
[02:17.95] People and places as we'd like them to be but you know what truth is?
[02:19.01] It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with
[02:20.34] This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight
[02:24.86] That's truth, that's love
[02:26.99] Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
[02:32.03] That might have made me complete
[02:35.48] But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:42.39] I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
[02:50.62] Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[03:11.35] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[00:00.00] (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
[00:00.00] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[00:00.00] (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[00:00.00] While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
[00:00.00] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[00:00.00] (I've been to cryin' for unborn children)
