I`ve Never Been To Me - Charlene
Hey lady you lady
cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But I wish someone
had talked to me like
I wanna talk to you
I've been to Georgia and California
and Anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man
and We made love in the sun
But I ran out of places
and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Please lady please lady
don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
of a weary heart
That has lived million lies
I've been to Niece
and the Isle of Greece
While I've sipped
champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow
in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me
Hey you know what paradise is
It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people
and Places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is
It's that little baby
you're holding and
It's that man you fought
with this morning
The same one you're going
to make love with tonight
That's truth that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying
for unborn children
That might have made me
complete but I
I took the sweet life I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring that
costs too much to be free
Hey lady I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

I've been to paradise
never been to me
I've been to Georgia and California
and Anywhere I could run
I've been to paradise
never been to me
