I've Never Been To Me by Charlene with lyrics
[00:03.14] Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
[00:11.14] You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
[00:19.88] I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
[00:26.89] But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[00:34.39] Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
[00:42.89] Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
[00:49.89] But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
[00:58.39] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[01:08.64] Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
[01:15.89] Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
[01:24.64] I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
[01:31.64] Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
[01:38.89] Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:43.64] While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:47.89] I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
[01:54.64] I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
[01:59.39] That a woman ain't s'posed to see
[02:03.64] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[02:11.64] Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
[02:18.39] People and places as we'd like them to be. But you know what truth is?
[02:21.89] It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with
[02:27.64] This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight.
[02:30.90] That's truth, that's love
[02:32.64] Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
[02:37.14] That might have made me complete
[02:40.64] But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:47.65] I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
[02:55.65] Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[03:15.65] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:22.89] (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
[03:29.15] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:35.39] (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[03:38.90] While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
[03:42.64] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:48.64] (I've been to cryin' for unborn children)
