[00:01.90]I 've Never Been To Me -Various Artists
[00:09.550]Hey lady you lady cursing at your life
[00:15.980]You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
[00:25.90]I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
[00:31.988]But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[00:38.907]I've been to georgia and california anywhere I could run
[00:47.576]Just the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun
[00:54.856]But I ran out of places and friendly faces
[00:59.445]Because I had to be free
[01:03.544]I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
[01:14.93]Please lady please lady don't just walk away
[01:20.983]Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
[01:29.152]I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
[01:36.622]Won't you share a part of a weary heart
[01:40.802]That has lived a million lies
[01:43.632]I've been to nice and the isle of greece
[01:48.231]While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:52.210]I moved like harlow in monte carlo
[01:56.300]And showed 'em what I've got
[01:58.959]I've been undressed by kings
[02:01.448]And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
[02:07.907]I've been to paradise
[02:11.866]But I've never been to me
[02:16.704]Hey you know what paradise is it's a lie
[02:20.283]A fantasy we create about people
[02:21.833]And places as we'd like them to be
[02:24.292]But you know what truth is
[02:26.261]It's that little baby you're holding
[02:28.421]And it's that man you fought with this morning
[02:30.951]The same one you're going to m**e l**e with tonight
[02:33.891]That's truth that's love
[02:36.529]Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
[02:41.349]That might have made me complete
[02:44.879]But I I took the sweet life
[02:47.508]And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:51.977]I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
[02:57.07]That cost too much to be free
[03:00.87]Come baby I've been to paradise
[03:08.557]Charlene I've never been to me
[03:21.67]I've been to paradise
[03:24.466]Charlene I've never been to me
[03:34.836]I've been to paradise
