[00:03.150]Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
[00:10.030]You're a discontented mother
[00:14.040]and a regimented wife
[00:18.920]I've no doubt you dream about
[00:22.620]the things you'll never do
[00:25.550]But I wish someone had talked to me
[00:29.390]like I wanna talk to you
[00:32.610]
[00:34.130]I've been to Georgia and California,
[00:38.540]anywhere I could run
[00:42.010]Took the hand of a preachman
[00:45.210]and we made love in the sun
[00:48.670]But I ran out of places and friendly faces
[00:53.370]Because I had to be free
[00:57.650]I've been to paradise,
[01:00.960]but I've never been to me
[01:05.560]
[01:07.830]Please lady, please, lady,
[01:11.650]don't just walk away
[01:14.790]Cause I have this need to tell you
[01:18.600]why I'm all alone today
[01:23.640]I can see so much of me
[01:27.040]still living in your eyes
[01:30.400]Won't you share a part of a weary heart
[01:34.760]that has lived a million lies
[01:37.750]Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:42.460]While I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:46.660]I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
[01:50.680]and showed 'em what I've got
[01:53.240]I've been undressed by kings
[01:56.130]And I've seen some things
[01:58.190]that a woman ain't supposed to see
[02:02.630]I've been to paradise
[02:05.870]But I've never been to me
[02:10.440]
[02:11.200](spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
[02:15.390]A fantasy we create about people
[02:17.410]and places as we'd like them to be
[02:19.940]But you know what truth is?
[02:21.680]It's that little baby you're holding,
[02:23.620]And it's that man
[02:24.550]you fought with this morning,
[02:26.090]the same one you're going to make
[02:27.820]love with tonight
[02:29.310]That's truth, that's love
[02:31.040]Sometimes I've been to crying
[02:34.050]for unborn children
[02:36.170]that might have made me complete
[02:39.550]But I, I took the sweet life
[02:42.080]And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:46.490]I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
[02:49.880]that cost too much to be free
[02:54.490]Hey lady, I've been to paradise
[03:02.960]But I've never been to me
[03:15.220]I've been to paradise
[03:19.460]I've never been to me
[03:21.380]
[03:28.520]I've been to paradise
[03:32.870]I've never been to me
