[00:02.606]Charlene -I've Never Been To Me
[00:07.588]Hey lady you lady
[00:11.462]Cursing at your life
[00:14.432]You're a discontented mother
[00:18.380]And a regimented wife
[00:23.427]I've no doubt you dream about
[00:26.875]The things you'll never do
[00:30.31]But I wish someone had talked to me
[00:33.697]Like I wanna talk to you
[00:37.377]Ooohooo I've been to Georgia and California
[00:43.64]Anywhere I could run
[00:46.490]Took the hand of a preacher man
[00:49.824]And we made love in the sun
[00:53.190]But I ran out of places and friendly faces
[00:57.994]Because I had to be free
[01:02.173]I've been to paradise
[01:05.349]But I've never been to me
[01:12.507]Please lady please lady
[01:16.228]Don't just walk away
[01:19.163]'Cause I have this need to tell you
[01:23.153]Why I'm all alone today
[01:28.91]I can see so much of me
[01:31.625]Still living in your eyes
[01:35.17]Won't you share a part of a weary heart
[01:39.269]That has lived a million lives
[01:42.332]Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[01:46.915]When I sipped champagne on a yacht
[01:51.250]I moved like harlo in Monte Carlo
[01:55.137]And showed 'em what I've got
[01:57.877]I've been undressed by kings
[02:00.774]And I've seen some things
[02:02.669]That a woman ain't supposed to see
[02:07.190]I've been to paradise
[02:10.301]But I've never been to me
[02:15.687]Hey you know what paradise is
[02:18.626]It's a lie
[02:19.986]A fantasy we created about people
[02:21.719]And places as we'd like them to be
[02:24.352]But you know what truth is
[02:26.189]It's that little baby you're holding
[02:28.154]And it's that man you fought with this morning
[02:30.657]The same one you're going to make love with tonight
[02:33.821]That's truth that's love
[02:35.434]Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
[02:40.711]That might have made me complete
[02:44.218]But I I took the sweet life I never knew
[02:48.63]I'd be bitter from the sweet
[02:51.109]I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
[02:55.999]That costs too much to be free hey lady
[03:00.257]I've been to paradise
[03:07.524]But I've never been to me
[03:19.732]I've been to paradise
[03:24.35]Never been to me
[03:25.322]I've been to Georgia and California
[03:28.592]And anywhere I could run
[03:32.945]I've been to paradise
[03:37.165]Never been to me
[03:38.672]Been to Nice and the isle of Greece
[03:41.880]When I've sipped champange on a yacht
[03:46.206]I've been to paradise
[03:50.348]Never been to me
