I've Never Been To Me lyrics by Charlene
Hey lady, you ladycursing 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 some one
had talked to me like I
wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia
and California and
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 lies
Oh I've been to Niece
and the Isle of Greece
while I've sipped champagne
on a yacht
I've moved like harlow in
Monte Carlo
and showed them 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
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 paradise
Never been to me
I've been to paradise
Never been to me
