Hey boy, you boy, can you spare the time |
|
You look so discontented with our regimented life |
|
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do |
|
And I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you |
|
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and any place I could run |
|
I took the hand of a girl one time and we made out 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 |
|
Hey boy, please boy, 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 lonely heart that's lived a million lives |
|
Because I've been to China and Asia minor and any place I could roam |
|
Made some noise with some good old boys but I always dreamed of home |
|
I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall there is little I didn't see |
|
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me |
|
Sometimes I've been to crying and endless sighing |
|
For what might make me complete |
|
I took the sweet life but never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
|
I thought my heart would break but learned too late only love can make people free |
|
I've been to paradise |
|
I've been to paradise |
|
But I've never been to me....Ah...... |
|
I've been to paradise |
|
I've been to paradise |
|
But I've never been to me....Ah...... |
