| [00:-0.50] | I've never been to me Charlene |
| [00:01.55] | (Ken Kirsch / Ronald Miller) |
| [00:04.42] | Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life |
| [00:11.79] | You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife |
| [00:20.49] | I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do |
| [00:27.09] | But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you |
| [00:35.60] | I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run |
| [00:43.61] | Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun |
| [00:50.34] | But I ran out of places and friendly faces |
| [00:54.97] | Because I had to be free |
| [00:59.25] | I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me |
| [01:09.12] | Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away |
| [01:16.07] | Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today |
| [01:25.17] | I can see so much of me still living in your eyes |
| [01:31.99] | Won't you share a part of a weary heart |
| [01:40.13] | I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| [01:43.93] | While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| [01:48.47] | I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got |
| [01:54.98] | I've been undressed by kings |
| [01:57.80] | And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see |
| [02:04.14] | I've been to paradise |
| [02:07.32] | But I've never been to me |
| [02:11.10] | (spoken) |
| [02:12.37] | Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie |
| [02:16.41] | A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be |
| [02:21.76] | But you know what truth is? |
| [02:22.89] | It's that little baby you're holding, |
| [02:25.45] | And it's that man you fought with this morning, |
| [02:27.92] | the same one you're going to make love with tonight |
| [02:30.58] | That's truth, that's love |
| [02:32.73] | Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children |
| [02:37.72] | that might have made me complete |
| [02:41.50] | But I, I took the sweet life |
| [02:44.21] | And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
| [02:48.19] | I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring |
| [02:53.33] | that cost too much to be free |
| [02:56.32] | Hey lady, I've been to paradise |
| [03:04.75] | But I've never been to me |
