Hey la dy you la dy

cur sing at your life

you're a dis con ten ted mo ther

and a re gi men ted wife

I have no do ubt

you dream a bout the things you ne ver do

but I wish some one had talked to me like I wa nna talk to you

Oh I've been to Geor gia and Ca li for nia and a ny where I could run

Took the hand of a prea cher man

and we made love in the sun

But I ran out of pla ces and frien dly fa ces

Be cause I had to be free

I've been to paradise but I've ne ver been to me...

Please la dy plea se lady

don't just walk a way

Cause I have this need to tell you

why I'm all a lone to day

I can see so much of me

still li ving in your eyes

won't you share a part

of a wea ry heart that has lived a mi llion lives

Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Gree ce

when I si pped cham pag ne on a yacht

I moved like Har lo in Mon te Car lo

and sho wed them what I've got

I've been un dressed by kings

and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see

I've been to pa ra dise but I've ne ver been to me...

some times I've been to cry ing for un born chi ldren

that might have made me com plete

but I I took the sweet life

I ne ver knew I'd be bi tter from the sweet

I spent my life ex plo ring

the sub tle who reing

that cost to much to be free

hey la dy I've been to pa ra dise

but I've ne ver been to me...

I've been to para dise

but I've ne ver been to me...

I've been to para dise

but I've ne ver been to me...

I've been to para dise

but I've ne ver been to me...
