[00:04.670] Hey lady,
[00:06.570] you lady, cursing at your life
[00:11.750] You''re a discontented mother
[00:15.510] and a regimented wife
[00:20.320] I''ve no doubt you dream about-the things you''ll never do
[00:27.340] But I wish someone had talked to me like I-wanna talk to you
[00:34.690] Oh, I''ve been to Georgia and California
[00:39.950] - and anywhere I could run
[00:43.450] I took the hand of a preacher man
[00:47.180] -and we made love in the sun
[00:50.320] But I ran out of places
[00:53.590] and friendly faces because I had to be free
[00:59.090] I''ve been to paradise
[01:02.630] but I''ve never been to me
[01:08.940] Please lady, please lady,
[01:13.380] -don''t just walk away
[01:16.270] ''Cause I have this need to tell you
[01:20.230] why I''m all alone today
[01:25.280] I can see so much of me-still living in your eyes
[01:32.290] Won''t you share a part of a weary heart-that has lived a million lies....
[01:39.490] Oh, I''ve been to Niece-and the Isle of Greece
[01:44.210] while I''ve sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:47.970] I''ve moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo-and showed ''em what I''ve got
[01:55.120] I''ve been undressed by kings
[01:57.820] and I''ve seen some things-that a woman ain''t supposed to see
[02:03.900] I''ve been to paradise,
[02:07.610] but I''ve never been to me
[02:13.120] Hey, you know what paradise is? It''s a lie
[02:17.150] A fantasy we create about people and places as we''d like them to be
[02:21.290] But you know what truth is?
[02:23.580] It''s that little baby you''re holding
[02:25.560] It''s that man you fought with this morning
[02:27.950] The same one you''re going to make love with tonight
[02:30.540] That''s truth, that''s love
[02:33.020] Sometimes I''ve been to crying for unborn children
[02:38.050] -hat might have made me complete
[02:41.320] But I took the sweet life,
[02:44.090] -I never knew I''d be bitter from the sweet
[02:48.400] I''ve spent my life exploring the subtle
[02:51.990] whoring that costs too much to be free
[02:56.460] Hey lady, I''ve been to paradise,
[03:04.470] but I''ve never been to me
[03:16.670] I''ve been to paradise
[03:21.340] I''ve never been to me
[03:30.010] I''ve been to paradise
[03:34.550] I''ve never been to me
