| [00:05.25] |
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life |
| [00:12.13] |
You're a discontented mother |
| [00:16.14] |
and a regimented wife |
| [00:21.02] |
I've no doubt you dream about |
| [00:24.72] |
the things you'll never do |
| [00:27.65] |
But I wish someone had talked to me |
| [00:31.49] |
like I wanna talk to you |
| [00:34.71] |
|
| [00:36.23] |
I've been to Georgia and California, |
| [00:40.64] |
anywhere I could run |
| [00:44.11] |
Took the hand of a preachman |
| [00:47.31] |
and we made love in the sun |
| [00:50.77] |
But I ran out of places and friendly faces |
| [00:55.47] |
Because I had to be free |
| [00:59.75] |
I've been to paradise, |
| [01:03.06] |
but I've never been to me |
| [01:07.66] |
|
| [01:09.93] |
Please lady, please, lady, |
| [01:13.75] |
don't just walk away |
| [01:16.89] |
Cause I have this need to tell you |
| [01:20.70] |
why I'm all alone today |
| [01:25.74] |
I can see so much of me |
| [01:29.14] |
still living in your eyes |
| [01:32.50] |
Won't you share a part of a weary heart |
| [01:36.86] |
that has lived a million lies |
| [01:39.85] |
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| [01:44.56] |
While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| [01:48.76] |
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo |
| [01:52.78] |
and showed 'em what I've got |
| [01:55.34] |
I've been undressed by kings |
| [01:58.23] |
And I've seen some things |
| [02:00.29] |
that a woman ain't supposed to see |
| [02:04.73] |
I've been to paradise |
| [02:07.97] |
But I've never been to me |
| [02:12.54] |
|
| [02:13.30] |
(spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie |
| [02:17.49] |
A fantasy we create about people |
| [02:19.51] |
and places as we'd like them to be |
| [02:22.04] |
But you know what truth is? |
| [02:23.78] |
It's that little baby you're holding, |
| [02:25.72] |
And it's that man |
| [02:26.65] |
you fought with this morning, |
| [02:28.19] |
the same one you're going to make |
| [02:29.92] |
love with tonight |
| [02:31.41] |
That's truth, that's love |
| [02:33.14] |
Sometimes I've been to crying |
| [02:36.15] |
for unborn children |
| [02:38.27] |
that might have made me complete |
| [02:41.65] |
But I, I took the sweet life |
| [02:44.18] |
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
| [02:48.59] |
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring |
| [02:51.98] |
that cost too much to be free |
| [02:56.59] |
Hey lady, I've been to paradise |
| [03:05.06] |
But I've never been to me |
| [03:17.32] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:21.56] |
I've never been to me |
| [03:23.48] |
|
| [03:30.62] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:34.97] |
I've never been to me |
| [03:38.20] |
|
