[Music] I 've never been to me

I 've never been to me

Hey lady, you lady
Cursin 'at your life
You're a discontened mother
And a regimented wife
I 've no doubt you dream about

the thinds you'll never do
but I wish someone had to talked to mE
like I wanna talk to you
I 've been to Georgia and California
and anywhere I cocould run
took the head 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 alone today
Ican see so much me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part of a weary heart
that has lived million lies
oh I 've been nice and the Isle of Greece
while I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like harlot 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,
Hey lady I 've been to Paradise
but I 've never been to mE

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 bitter from the sweet
I spent my life processing ing the subtle whoring
That cost too much to be free hey lady,
I 've been to Paradise (I 've been to Paradise)
I 've been to paradise
But I 've never been to me
