I've Never Been To Me

I've Never Been To Me (Demo) - Charlene (夏琳)

Hey lady you lady

Cursing at your life

You're a discontented mother

And a regimented wife

I've no doubt you dream about

The things you'll never do

But I wish someone had talked to me

Like I wanna talk to you

Ooohooo I've been to Georgia and California

Anywhere I could run

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

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 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 lives

Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

When I sipped champagne on a yacht

I moved like harlo 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

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

Hey you know what paradise is

It's a lie

A fantasy we created about people

And places as we'd like them to be

But you know what truth is

It's that little baby you're holding

And it's that man you fought with this morning

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

That's truth that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children

That might have made me complete

But I I took the sweet life I never knew

I'd be bitter from the sweet

I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring

That costs too much to be free hey lady

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

I've been to paradise

Never been to me

I've been to Georgia and California

And anywhere I could run

I've been to paradise

Never been to me

Been to Nice and the isle of Greece

When I've sipped champange on a yacht

I've been to paradise

Never been to me
