Hey   lady   you   lady

cursin'   at   your   life​

You're   a   discontented​

mother   and   a   rich

inventive   wife

I've   no   doubt   you

dream   about

the   things

you'll   never   do​

But   I   wish   someone

had   a   talked   to   me

like   I   wanna

talk   to   you

Ooh   I've   been   to

Georgia   and

California​

oh   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

Oh   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   s'posed   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   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

oh

I've   been   to

paradise   never

been   to   me

Georgia   and

California

and   anywhere

I   could   run

I've   been   to

paradise   never

been   to   me

to   Nice

and   the   isle

of   Greece   While

I   sipped   champagne

on   a   yacht
