Song - Ive never been to me

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life

You're a discontented mother, and a regimented wife

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

But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I've 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'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 all 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 a million lies....

Oh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht

I've 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 to paradise, but I've never been to me

[Spoken]

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 little baby you're holding

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 crying for unborn children that might have made me complete

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

I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free

Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

 
乍聽旋律以為是首輕快優美的歌, 一看完歌詞, 我不知道還能說甚麼。

狂風暴雨過後, 總是希冀寧靜安詳; 但平和久了, 卻又期待生活有些刺激新鮮感。

飄蕩過了一陣子, 就希望有個安穩的處所可以窩著; 窩久了, 又嫌它無趣。

就是不滿足吧。

Sometimes we got what we wanted, what we paid for...

And it's all about Choice we made, somehow we don't realize.
