(I'VE) NEVER BEEN TO ME
Charlene

Hey lady
You lady
Cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you 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 and
Anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man 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 lives?

Ooh, 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

(narrated)
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we created about people and places
As we like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you are gonna make love to tonight
That's truth
That's love

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me, ooh

(I've been to paradise)
Never been to me
(I've been to paradise)
Never been to me

  • Isn't it ...

    Isn't it interesting that people who have not done a thing musically, feel compelled to criticize those who have. It must be very sad to be a "never was".

    I wanted an example of the worst kind of musicto send someone and thought of this. I remembered it from whenever it was a hit. It was godawful then, and still is. I've got nothing against charlene, and if she's alive I hope she's had a great life and continues to have a great life, but this is pretty bad.

    trust me,as a professional girlfriend and a mother, i know what this song is about-it's the madonna-vs-whore that lives in many. as a professional girlfriend i've had to stop living in an ivory tower because my children come first. i've turned down paradise-10 days a month for 2 years in monaco,even just dinner,because-that's right-pta obligations:) but i look at my successful, happy, educated children, all in their 20's, and really don't miss the doctor or nba player so much.xoxochrissy kisses
