You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife <br />
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do <br />
But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you <br />
<br />
I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run <br />
Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun <br />
But I ran out of places and friendly faces <br />
Because I had to be free <br />
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me <br />
<br />
Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away <br />
Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today <br />
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes <br />
Won't you share a part of a weary heart <br />
that has lived a million lies <br />
<br />
I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece <br />
While I sipped champagne on a yacht <br />
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got <br />
I've been undressed by kings <br />
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see <br />
I've been to paradise <br />
But I've never been to me <br />
<br />
(spoken) <br />
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie <br />
A fantasy we create <br />
about people and places as we'd like them to be <br />
But you know what truth is? <br />
It's that little baby you're holding, <br />
And it's that man you fought with this morning, <br />
the same one you're going to make love with tonight <br />
That's truth, that's love <br />
<br />
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children <br />
that might have made me complete <br />
But I, I took the sweet life <br />
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet <br />
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring <br />
that cost too much to be free <br />
Hey lady, I've been to paradise <br />
But I've never been to me
