Charlene - I've never been to me 1982 <br /> <br />Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life <br />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 <br />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 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 that has lived million lies <br /> <br />Oh, I've been to Nice and the isles 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 /> <br />I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things <br />that a woman ain't supposed to see <br />I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me <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, I never knew <br />I'd be bitter from the sweet <br /> <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
