Song by Charlene<br /><br>

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life<br>

You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife<br>

I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do<br>

But, I wish someone had talked to me<br>

Like I wanna talk to you.....<br>

<br>

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run<br>

I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun<br>

But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free<br>

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me<br>

<br>

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away<br>

'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today<br>

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes<br>

Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....<br>

<br>

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht<br>

I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got<br>

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see<br>

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me<br>

<br>

[spoken]<br>

Hey, you know what paradise is?<br>

It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be<br>

But you know what truth is?<br>

It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning<br>

The same one you're going to make love with tonight<br>

That's truth, that's love......<br>

<br>

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete<br>

But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet<br>

I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free<br>

Hey lady......<br>

I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise) <br>

But I've never been to me<br>

<br>

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)<br>

I've been to paradise, never been to me<br>

(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)<br>

I've been to paradise, never been to me<br>

(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)<br>

I've been to paradise, never been to me<br>

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)<br>

I've been to paradise, never been to me<br>

<br>
