Charlene - I-'ve Never Been To Me
[00:04.19] Hey lady, you lady
[00:08.16] Cursing at your life
[00:11.08] You're a discontented mother
[00:15.06] And a regimented wife
[00:20.11] I've no doubt you dream about
[00:23.29] The things you'll never do
[00:27.01] But,
[00:27.81] I wish someone had talked to me
[00:31.26] Like I wanna talk to you...
[00:34.19] Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
[00:38.98] And, anywhere I could run
[00:43.24] I took the hand of a preacher man
[00:46.69] And we made love in the sun
[00:49.87] But I ran out of places
[00:52.80] And friendly faces
[00:54.92] Because I had to be free
[00:58.90] I've been to paradise
[01:02.36] But I've never been to me...
[01:08.75] Please lady, please, lady
[01:12.98] Don't just walk away
[01:15.90] 'Cause I have this need to tell you
[01:19.63] Why I'm all alone today
[01:24.94] I can see so much of me
[01:28.14] Still living in your eyes
[01:31.84] Won't you share a part
[01:33.97] Of a weary heart
[01:36.09] That has lived million lies...
[01:39.28] Ooh I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
[01:43.79] While I've sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:48.05] I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
[01:51.76] And showed 'em what I've got
[01:54.69] I've been undressed by kings
[01:57.87] And I've seen some things
[01:59.73] That a woman ain't supposed to see...
[02:03.99] I've been to paradise,
[02:07.44] But I've never been to me...
[02:12.75] Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
[02:18.33] People and places as we'd like them to be.
[02:21.25] But you know what truth is?
[02:23.37] It's that little baby you're holding
[02:25.50] It's that man you fought with this morning
[02:27.89] The same one you're going to make love with tonight
[02:30.54] That's truth, that's love...
[02:32.67] Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
[02:37.72] That might have made me complete
[02:41.17] But I... I took the sweet life
[02:43.56] I never knew
[02:45.17] I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:48.08] I've spent my life exploring
[02:51.27] The subtle whoring
[02:53.40] That costs too much to be free...
[02:56.31] Hey lady...
[02:57.63] I've been to paradise...
[03:04.55] But I've never been to me...
[03:16.78] I've been to paradise...
[03:21.03] Never been to me...
[03:29.80] I've been to paradise...
[03:34.31] Never been to me...
[03:43.35] I've been to paradise...
[03:47.59] Never been to me...
