经典歌曲-从未成为自己I’ve Never Been To Me

经典歌曲-从未成为自己I’ve Never Been To Me--Charlene D’Angelo

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.....

Ooh 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.......

Ooh I've been to Niec and the Isle¹ of Greece

while I've sipped² champagne³ 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.......

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.....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..........
