I've Never Been To Me |
| Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life |
| You’re a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife |
| I’ve no doubt you dream about the things you’ll never do But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you |
| Ooh I’ve been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run |
| Took the hand of a preacherman 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 a million lies |
| Oh I’ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| I 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 s’posed 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 cryin' for unborn children |
| That might have made me complete |
| But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet |
| I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost 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 |
| (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| While I sipped champagne on a yacht) |
| I’ve been to paradise — never been to me |
| (I've been to cryin' for unborn children…) (to fade) |
