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 talk to me

Like I wanna talk to you

Oohh I've been to Georgia

And California and anywhere I could run

Took the hand of a preacherman

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

Oohh I've been to Niece

And the Isle of Greece

While I've sipped champagne 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

Sometimes I'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 be bitter from the sweet

I've spent my life e ploring

The subtle whoring

That cost too much to be free

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to meeee.....

I've been to paradise.....

I've been to Georgia

And California and anywhere I could run

I've been to paradise....

Never been to me..

I've been to Niece

And the Isle of Greece

While I've sipped champagne on a yacht

I've been to paradise....
