I've never been to me

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.....
Oh, I´ve been to Georgia and California and 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
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 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 ´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
[spoken]
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 you´re holding, 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 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, (I´ve been to paradise)
But I´ve 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
(I´ve been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I´ve sipped champagne on a yacht)
I´ve been to paradise, never been to me
(I´ve been to cryin´ for unborn children that might have made me complete)
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
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
