Lyrics I've Never Been to Me

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

Ooh 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

'Cos 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

Ooh I've been to Nice 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

Well 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

Ooh-ooh-ooh-hee-hee-hee

I've been to paradise

I've never been to me

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

I've been to paradise

I've never been to me

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

I've been to paradise
