I've Never Been To Me
She Lyrics

you're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
You're a mother and wife who feels unhappy and unsatisfied with the routine of your life.

i've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
I have no doubt that you dream about the things you will never do, but wish you could.

but i wish someone had talked to me like i wanna talk to you
I wish someone had talked to me the way I want to talk to you right now.

i've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I have traveled to Georgia, California, and any place where I could escape and run away from my life.

took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
I had a sexual encounter with a preacher man under the sun.

but i ran out of places and friendly faces because i had to be free
I ran out of places to go and friendly people to be with because I felt the need to be free.

i've been to paradise but i've never been to me
I have been to places that seem like paradise, but I have never truly discovered who I am.

please lady please lady don't just walk away 'cause i have this need to tell you why i'm alone today
Please, don't walk away because I have this need to tell you why I feel alone today.

i can see so much of me still living in your eyes
I can see that a part of me still exists in you and the way you see me.

won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies
Will you share a part of your heart, which has seen and experienced so many lies, with me?

oh i've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece while sipped champagne on a yacht
I have been to places like Nice and the Isle of Greece, where I sipped champagne on a yacht.

i moved like a harlot in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I acted like a prostitute in Monte Carlo to show them my true self.

i've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see, hey lady
I have been naked in front of kings and have seen things that women are not supposed to see.

i've been to paradise but i've never been to me
I have been to places that seem like paradise, but I have never truly discovered who I am.

sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete, but I
Sometimes, I cry for the unborn children that could have completed me, but I didn't have them.

i took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I chose a sweet life and never knew that it would lead to bitterness and emptiness.

i spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
I spent my life chasing after things that seemed freeing but actually cost me too much.

hey lady, i've been to paradise (i've been to paradise) but i've never been to me
Hey lady, I have been to places that seem like paradise, but I have never truly discovered who I am.
