I've 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
I've been to Georgia and California anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
'Cause I had to need to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Hey lady you lady please don't walk away
Yes 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
But I should live to meet life
I've been to nice and the isle of greece
And I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like harlow in monte carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I wish 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
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
Cost too much to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never but I've never been to me
