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 a talk to me
like I wanna talk to you
Ooh 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 a million lives
Yes I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
while 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 something that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Sometimes I've been crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
I took the sweet life I never knew
I'd be better from the sweet
I spent my life
exploring the side of horing that cost too much to be free
I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me
