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
never do
but I wish someone
had a talk 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 Niece and the
isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I 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 s`pose to see
I`ve been to paradise
but I`ve never been to me#!J.
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 spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I`ve been to paradise
hey lady I`ve been to paradise
but I`ve never been to me#!J.
