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 never do but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you Oh, I've been to Georgia 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 but I've never been to me...

[cathyhkt]

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 lives

[cathyhkt]

Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

when I sipped champagne on a yacht

I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo

and showed them what I've got

I've been undressed by kings

and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see

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

[cathyhkt]

Hey, you know what paradise is?

It's a lie

a fantasy we created about people and places

as we like them to be

but you know what truth is?

it's that little baby you're holding

and it's that man you fought with this morning

the same one you are gonna make love to tonight

that's truth that's love

[cathyhkt]

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children

that might have made me complete

but I, I took the sweet life

I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

I 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...

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

I have loved Charlene's Music since day one. Every single song I heard her sing touched my heart and has stuck with me since the very first one. I still have her Albums, spent $50 several years back, for 1 DVD from Japan just to have it on DVD. One day I hopefully will put them all on my You Tube Page. I played them so much my kids likely know all the words to most of the songs. LOL LOL I'm grateful for how she touched my life through her songs.

Thanks so much for sharing it.

FUNNY YOU SAY THIS SONG IS LISTED AS ONE OF THE WORST SONGS BUT IT WAS A HIT ANY THE WORDS STILL RESONATE TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE..

@TEMPmichaelhansen doesn't even belong there because this is not a rock and roll record
