I’ve Never Been To Me(Charlene)
Written:Ken Kirsch/Ronald Miller Artist:Charlene(夏琳)

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 million lies

Oh, I’ve been to Niece 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, (I’ve been to paradise)
But I’ve 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
(I’ve been to Neice and the isle of Greece while
I’ve sipped champagne on a yacht)
I’ve been to paradise, never been to me
(I’ve been to cryin’ for unborn children that might have made
me complete)
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

嗨　女士　就是你　不斷罵著自己人生的妳
妳是位不快樂的母親　一絲不苟的老婆
難怪妳一直夢想著所有也許遙不可及的可能
多希望有人早對我說這番　我要對你說的話
我到過喬治亞州.加州　所有我能涉足的地方
婚禮時握著傳教士的手　愛在太陽見證下
但我漸漸無處可去　友善的臉也不再相迎
因為我要的是自由　我到過天堂　卻不曾認識自己
女士呀　別這樣轉頭就走　我一定要告訴妳
現在我子然一身的原因　我在妳眼中看到往日的自己
何不讓我分擔那顆因千萬個謊言　而疲憊不堪的心
我到過尼斯.希臘群島　坐著遊艇啜飲香檳
彷彿巨星珍哈露在蒙地卡羅盡情展現奢華
各色男人們都為我拜倒裙下　也窺視過他們的內心世界
我到過天堂　卻不曾認識自己

口白：
嘿　妳知道天堂是什麼　那是個虛幻　是我們創造出的神話
夢想中的人事物的神話　而真實又是什麼
是妳確確實實抱在懷中的嬰孩　是早上和妳鬥嘴
而晚上相擁入眠的那個人　這才是真實　真愛
我有時會為了未出世的孩童垂淚　因為他們本可讓我的生命變完整
但　我選擇了簡單的旅程
卻不知我將嘗到苦果　我終其一生探尋那　追尋自由付出的代價
嘿　LADY　我到過天堂　卻不曾認識自己
