Never Been to Me
Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I have no doubt
You dream about, the things you never do
That is why I'll tell you the story of a woman, just like you
Oh, she's been to Georgia and California and anywhere she could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And they, made love in the sun
But she ran out of places and friendly faces
Because she had to be free
And she said
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 she's all alone today
I can see so much of her
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart that has lived a million lives
Oh, she's been to Nice and the aisle of Greece
While she sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what she's got
She's been undressed by kings
And she's seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
And she said
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Sometimes, she's been to crying for unborn children
That might have made her complete
She took the sweet life
I never knew she'd be bitter from the suite
She spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
And she said
I've been to paradise
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I have no doubt
You dream about, the things you never do
That is why I'll tell you the story of a woman, just like you
Oh, she's been to Georgia and California and anywhere she could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And they, made love in the sun
But she ran out of places and friendly faces
Because she had to be free
And she said
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 she's all alone today
I can see so much of her
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart that has lived a million lives
Oh, she's been to Nice and the aisle of Greece
While she sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what she's got
She's been undressed by kings
And she's seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
And she said
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Sometimes, she's been to crying for unborn children
That might have made her complete
She took the sweet life
I never knew she'd be bitter from the suite
She spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
And she said
I've been to paradise
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
