I've Never Been to Me Songtext
von Nancy Wilson

Hey, lady
You, lady
Cursin′ at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I′ve no doubt you dream about
Things you'll never do
Oh, but I wish someone had talked to me
Like I'm gonna talk to you

I′ve been to Georgia and California
Anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
′Cause I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I′ve never been to me


Hey, lady
You, lady
Please don't walk away
You see, 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 lives?

I′ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece
And I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I got
I was 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'
Unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life and never knew
I′d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
Cost too much to be free

I've been to paradise
But I′ve never
No, I've never been to me
