Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
cnd a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Whoooa, I've been to Georgia
cnd California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
cnd we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places
cnd friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady
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 weary heart
that has lived million lies

Whoooa, I've been to Nice
cnd the Isle of Greece
While I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
cnd showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
cnd I've seen some things
That a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is
It's a lie
c fantasy we create about people
cnd places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is
It's that little baby you're holding
cnd it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying
For unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to meeeeeee

I've been to paradise
(Never been to me)..
