作曲：Ron Miller, Kenneth Hirsch
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 preach 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
?
I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I 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
And 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?
And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring?
That cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
