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 would talk to me 
Like I wanna talk to you 
Oh 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 I've ran out of places and friendly faces 
Because I 
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 left a million lives 
Oh oh 
I have been to mist in the isle of Greece where I sip champagne on a yacht 
Move like 
Harlow in 
Montecarlo and show them what I've got 
I've been undressed by the king 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 
the same man you're gonna make love with tonight 
That's the truth that's love 
Sometimes 
I've been to crying for unborn children that might have make 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 hoaring that caused so much to be free 
Hey lady 
I've been to paradise never been to me heh heh heh hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm 
I've been to paradise 
But I never been to me
