| [00:03.150] |
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life |
| [00:10.030] |
You're a discontented mother |
| [00:14.040] |
and a regimented wife |
| [00:18.920] |
I've no doubt you dream about |
| [00:22.620] |
the things you'll never do |
| [00:25.550] |
But I wish someone had talked to me |
| [00:29.390] |
like I wanna talk to you |
| [00:32.610] |
|
| [00:34.130] |
I've been to Georgia and California, |
| [00:38.540] |
anywhere I could run |
| [00:42.010] |
Took the hand of a preachman |
| [00:45.210] |
and we made love in the sun |
| [00:48.670] |
But I ran out of places and friendly faces |
| [00:53.370] |
Because I had to be free |
| [00:57.650] |
I've been to paradise, |
| [01:00.960] |
but I've never been to me |
| [01:05.560] |
|
| [01:07.830] |
Please lady, please, lady, |
| [01:11.650] |
don't just walk away |
| [01:14.790] |
Cause I have this need to tell you |
| [01:18.600] |
why I'm all alone today |
| [01:23.640] |
I can see so much of me |
| [01:27.040] |
still living in your eyes |
| [01:30.400] |
Won't you share a part of a weary heart |
| [01:34.760] |
that has lived a million lies |
| [01:37.750] |
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece |
| [01:42.460] |
While I sipped champagne on a yacht |
| [01:46.660] |
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo |
| [01:50.680] |
and showed 'em what I've got |
| [01:53.240] |
I've been undressed by kings |
| [01:56.130] |
And I've seen some things |
| [01:58.190] |
that a woman ain't supposed to see |
| [02:02.630] |
I've been to paradise |
| [02:05.870] |
But I've never been to me |
| [02:10.440] |
|
| [02:11.200] |
(spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie |
| [02:15.390] |
A fantasy we create about people |
| [02:17.410] |
and places as we'd like them to be |
| [02:19.940] |
But you know what truth is? |
| [02:21.680] |
It's that little baby you're holding, |
| [02:23.620] |
And it's that man |
| [02:24.550] |
you fought with this morning, |
| [02:26.090] |
the same one you're going to make |
| [02:27.820] |
love with tonight |
| [02:29.310] |
That's truth, that's love |
| [02:31.040] |
Sometimes I've been to crying |
| [02:34.050] |
for unborn children |
| [02:36.170] |
that might have made me complete |
| [02:39.550] |
But I, I took the sweet life |
| [02:42.080] |
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet |
| [02:46.490] |
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring |
| [02:49.880] |
that cost too much to be free |
| [02:54.490] |
Hey lady, I've been to paradise |
| [03:02.960] |
But I've never been to me |
| [03:15.220] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:19.460] |
I've never been to me |
| [03:21.380] |
|
| [03:28.520] |
I've been to paradise |
| [03:32.870] |
I've never been to me |
