| [00:04.950] |
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life |
| [00:11.830] |
You're a discontented mother |
| [00:15.840] |
and a regimented wife |
| [00:20.720] |
I've no doubt you dream about |
| [00:24.420] |
the things you'll never do |
| [00:27.350] |
But I wish someone had talked to me |
| [00:31.190] |
like I wanna talk to you |
| [00:34.410] |
|
| [00:35.930] |
I've been to Georgia and California, |
| [00:40.340] |
anywhere I could run |
| [00:43.810] |
Took the hand of a preachman |
| [00:47.010] |
and we made love in the sun |
| [00:50.470] |
But I ran out of places and friendly faces |
| [00:55.170] |
Because I had to be free |
| [00:59.450] |
I've been to paradise, |
| [01:02.760] |
but I've never been to me |
| [01:07.360] |
|
| [01:09.630] |
Please lady, please, lady, |
| [01:13.450] |
don't just walk away |
| [01:16.590] |
Cause I have this need to tell you |
| [01:20.400] |
why I'm all alone today |
| [01:25.440] |
I can see so much of me |
| [01:28.840] |
still living in your eyes |
| [01:32.200] |
Won't you share a part of a weary heart |
| [01:36.560] |
that has lived a million lies |
| [01:39.550] |
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| [01:44.260] |
While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| [01:48.460] |
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo |
| [01:52.480] |
and showed 'em what I've got |
| [01:55.040] |
I've been undressed by kings |
| [01:57.930] |
And I've seen some things |
| [01:59.990] |
that a woman ain't supposed to see |
| [02:04.430] |
I've been to paradise |
| [02:07.670] |
But I've never been to me |
| [02:12.240] |
|
| [02:13.000] |
(spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie |
| [02:17.190] |
A fantasy we create about people |
| [02:19.210] |
and places as we'd like them to be |
| [02:21.740] |
But you know what truth is? |
| [02:23.480] |
It's that little baby you're holding, |
| [02:25.420] |
And it's that man |
| [02:26.350] |
you fought with this morning, |
| [02:27.890] |
the same one you're going to make |
| [02:29.620] |
love with tonight |
| [02:31.110] |
That's truth, that's love |
| [02:32.840] |
Sometimes I've been to crying |
| [02:35.850] |
for unborn children |
| [02:37.970] |
that might have made me complete |
| [02:41.350] |
But I, I took the sweet life |
| [02:43.880] |
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
| [02:48.290] |
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring |
| [02:51.680] |
that cost too much to be free |
| [02:56.290] |
Hey lady, I've been to paradise |
| [03:04.760] |
But I've never been to me |
| [03:17.020] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:21.260] |
I've never been to me |
| [03:23.180] |
|
| [03:30.320] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:34.670] |
I've never been to me |
| [03:37.900] |
|
