Hey lady,you lady
Cursin at your life
You re a discontened mother
And a regimented wife
I ve no doubt you dream about
The things you ll never do
But I wish someone had of talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you
I ve been to Georgis and California
And anywhere I could run
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 ve been to paradise
I ve been to paradise
But I ve never been to me
Please lady,please lady
Don t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I m alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won t you share a part of a weary heart
That has lived million lies
Oh I ve been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed em what I ve got
I ve been undressed by kings
And I ve seen some things
That a woman ain t supposed to see
I ve been a paradise
But I ve never been to me
Hey,you know what paradise is?
Hey,you know what paradise is?
It s a lie,a fantasy we create about people
And places as we d like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It s that litle baby you re holding
And it s that man you fought with this morning
The same one you re going to make love with tonight
That s truth
That s love
Sometimes I ve been to cryin
For unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I,Itook the sweet life
And never knew I d bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
That cost too much to be free
Hey lady,I ve been to paradise
but I ve never been to me
I ve been to paradise,never been to me
I ve been to Georgia and California
And anywhere I could run
I ve been to paradise,never been to me
Been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I ve been to paradise
