Charlene_I_ve_Never_Been_To_Me
[00:05.22] Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
[00:11.71] You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
[00:20.70] I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
[00:27.45] But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[00:34.71] Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
[00:43.96] Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
[00:50.71] But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
[00:59.46] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[01:09.70] Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
[01:16.72] Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
[01:25.47] I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
[01:32.46] Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
[01:39.70] Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:44.46] While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:48.71] I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
[01:55.21] I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
[01:59.96] That a woman ain't s'posed to see
[02:04.46] I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[02:13.46] Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
[02:18.96] People and places as we'd like them to be. But you know what truth is?
[02:23.71] It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with
[02:27.21] This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight.
[02:31.21] That's truth, that's love
[02:33.20] Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
[02:37.72] That might have made me complete
[02:41.71] But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:48.46] I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
[02:56.71] Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[03:16.96] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:24.22] (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
[03:30.21] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:37.46] (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[03:39.44] While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
[03:43.46] I've been to paradise, never been to me
[03:48.96] (I've been to cryin' for unborn children)
