I’ve Never Been To Me(Charlene)

Artist:Charlene(夏琳)



Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life

You&9re a discontented mother and a regimented wife

I&9ve no doubt you dream about the things you&9ll never do

But, I wish someone had talked to me

Like I wanna talk to you



Oh, I&9ve been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run

I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun

But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free

I&9ve been to paradise but I&9ve never been to me



Please lady, please lady, don&9t just walk away

&9Cause I have this need to tell you why I&9m all alone today

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

Won&9t you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies



Oh, I&9ve been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while

I&9ve sipped champagne on a yacht

I&9ve moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed &9em what I&9ve got

I&9ve been undressed by kings and

I&9ve seen some things that a woman ain&9t supposed to see

I&9ve been to paradise, but I&9ve never been to me



[spoken]

Hey, you know what paradise is

It&9s a lie, a fantasy we create about people and

places as we&9d like them to be

But you know what truth is

It&9s that little baby you&9re holding

it&9s that man you fought with this morning

The same one you&9re going to make love with tonight

That&9s truth, that&9s love



Sometimes I&9ve been to crying for unborn children

that might have made me complete

But I took the sweet life, I never knew I&9d be bitter from the sweet

I&9ve spent my life exploring the subtle whoring

that costs too much to be free

Hey lady



I&9ve been to paradise, (I&9ve been to paradise)

But I&9ve never been to me



(I&9ve been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)

I&9ve been to paradise, never been to me

(I&9ve been to Neice and the isle of Greece while

I&9ve sipped champagne on a yacht)

I&9ve been to paradise, never been to me

(I&9ve been to cryin&9 for unborn children that might have made

me complete)

I&9ve been to paradise, never been to me

(I&9ve been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)

I&9ve been to paradise, never been to me
