Comment:
Hey Lady, You Lady
Cursing at your life
Your a discontented mother
And a rich invented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you never do
But I wish someone had to talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Oh 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 lives
Oh I've been to Nice
And the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved liked Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things
That a women 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 create about people and places
As we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is
It's that little baby your 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

Some times I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That cost 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

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
While I sipped champagne on a yacht

I've been to paradise
Never been to me

I've never been to me - Charlene!

BRILLIANT!
