[00:04.950]Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
[00:11.830]You're a discontented mother
[00:15.840]and a regimented wife
[00:20.720]I've no doubt you dream about
[00:24.420]the things you'll never do
[00:27.350]But I wish someone had talked to me
[00:31.190]like I wanna talk to you
[00:34.410]
[00:35.930]I've been to Georgia and California,
[00:40.340]anywhere I could run
[00:43.810]Took the hand of a preachman
[00:47.010]and we made love in the sun
[00:50.470]But I ran out of places and friendly faces
[00:55.170]Because I had to be free
[00:59.450]I've been to paradise,
[01:02.760]but I've never been to me
[01:07.360]
[01:09.630]Please lady, please, lady,
[01:13.450]don't just walk away
[01:16.590]Cause I have this need to tell you
[01:20.400]why I'm all alone today
[01:25.440]I can see so much of me
[01:28.840]still living in your eyes
[01:32.200]Won't you share a part of a weary heart
[01:36.560]that has lived a million lies
[01:39.550]Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:44.260]While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:48.460]I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
[01:52.480]and showed 'em what I've got
[01:55.040]I've been undressed by kings
[01:57.930]And I've seen some things
[01:59.990]that a woman ain't supposed to see
[02:04.430]I've been to paradise
[02:07.670]But I've never been to me
[02:12.240]
[02:13.000](spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
[02:17.190]A fantasy we create about people
[02:19.210]and places as we'd like them to be
[02:21.740]But you know what truth is?
[02:23.480]It's that little baby you're holding,
[02:25.420]And it's that man
[02:26.350]you fought with this morning,
[02:27.890]the same one you're going to make
[02:29.620]love with tonight
[02:31.110]That's truth, that's love
[02:32.840]Sometimes I've been to crying
[02:35.850]for unborn children
[02:37.970]that might have made me complete
[02:41.350]But I, I took the sweet life
[02:43.880]And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:48.290]I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
[02:51.680]that cost too much to be free
[02:56.290]Hey lady, I've been to paradise
[03:04.760]But I've never been to me
[03:17.020]I've been to paradise
[03:21.260]I've never been to me
[03:23.180]
[03:30.320]I've been to paradise
[03:34.670]I've never been to me
[03:37.900]
