Hey lady,you lady cursin’ at your life

you’re a discontened

mother and a regimemted wife

i’ve no doubt you dream about

the things you’ll never do

but i wish someonehad to talked

to me like

i wanna talk to you

i’ve been to georgia and

california and anywhere i couldrun

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 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

oh i’ve been to nice

and the lsle of greece while sipped

champagne on a yacht

i moved like harlot in monte carlo and

showed’em what i’ve got

i’ve been underessed by kings and l’ve

seen some things that a eoman ain’t supposed to see,

hey lady

i’ve been to paradise but i’ve

never been to me

sometimes l’ve

been to cryin’ for unborn children that

might have made me

complete but i ,

i took the sweet life and never knew i’d

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 (i’ve been to paradise)

but i’ve never been to me
