I've Never Been To Me

ive never been to me
hey lady,you lady
cursin at your life
youre a discontened mother
and a regimented wife
ive no doubt you dream about

the thinds youll never do
but i wish someone had to talked to me
like i wanna talk to you
ive been to georgia and california
and anywhere i could run
took the head 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
ive been to paradise
but ive never been to me
please lady,please lady
dont just walk away
cause i have this need to tell you
why im alone today
ican see so much of me
still living in your eyes
wont you share a part of a weary heart
that has lived million lies
oh ive been to nice and the isle of greece
while i sipped champagne on a yacht
i moved like harlot in monte carlo
and showedem what ive got
ive been undressed by kings
and ive seen some things
that a woman aint supposed to see,
hey lady ive been to paradise
but i ve never been to me

sometimes ive been to cryin
for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but i,i took the sweet life
and never knew
id bitter from the sweet
i spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
that cost too much to be free hey lady,
ive been to paradise (ive been to paradise)
ive been to paradise
but ive never been to me
