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 />
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run<br />
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun<br />
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free<br />
I've been to paradise,<br />
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 />
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece<br />
While I've sipped champagne on a yacht<br />
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo<br />
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 about people and places<br />
As we'd like them to be<br />
But you know what truth is?<br />
It's that little baby you're holding<br />
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 took the sweet life,<br />
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet<br />
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring<br />
That costs too much to be free<br />
Hey lady, I've been to paradise,<br />
But I've never been to me
