I've Never Been to Me

I've Never Been to Me - Lori Donato

Written by : Ron Miller

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

I've been to Georgia and California

To anywhere I could run

I took the hand 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

Hey lady

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

Please lady

Please lady

Don't just walk away

Cause I've got 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

I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

While I sipped champagne on a yacht

Moved like Harlow through 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 suposed 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 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

I've been to paradise

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me
