| [00:01.25] | (Ken Kirsch / Ronald Miller) |
| [00:04.69] | Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life |
| [00:12.24] | You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife |
| [00:20.40] | I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do |
| [00:27.60] | But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you |
| [00:36.11] | I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run |
| [00:44.14] | Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun |
| [00:50.32] | But I ran out of places and friendly faces |
| [00:55.36] | Because I had to be free |
| [00:59.27] | I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me |
| [01:09.75] | Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away |
| [01:16.69] | Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today |
| [01:25.65] | I can see so much of me still living in your eyes |
| [01:32.40] | Won't you share a part of a weary heart |
| [01:36.48] | that has lived a million lies |
| [01:40.39] | I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| [01:44.49] | While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| [01:48.53] | I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got |
| [01:55.63] | I've been undressed by kings |
| [01:58.68] | And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see |
| [02:04.30] | I've been to paradise |
| [02:07.38] | But I've never been to me |
| [02:11.40] | (spoken) |
| [02:12.47] | Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie |
| [02:16.68] | A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be |
| [02:22.42] | But you know what truth is? |
| [02:23.91] | It's that little baby you're holding, |
| [02:25.43] | And it's that man you fought with this morning, |
| [02:28.39] | the same one you're going to make love with tonight |
| [02:31.16] | That's truth, that's love |
| [02:33.43] | Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children |
| [02:38.31] | that might have made me.plete |
| [02:42.19] | But I, I took the sweet life |
| [02:44.51] | And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
| [02:48.32] | I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring |
| [02:53.52] | that cost too much to be free |
| [02:56.29] | Hey lady, I've been to paradise |
| [03:05.47] | But I've never been to me |
| [03:17.97] | I've been to paradise |
| [03:22.33] | But I've never been to me |
| [03:30.28] | I've been to paradise |
| [03:34.48] | But I've never been to me |
| [03:50.05] |
