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 a talk 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 When I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo And showed them 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... 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... I've been to paradise - never been to me (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 Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht) I've been to paradise - never been to me

Come lay your head an my heart Soon be apart, stay here the touch of morning I'm glad we're leaving as friends Baby, by the way I forgot to say Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Just another helpless fool in love is what I am But I don't give a damn Sorry, I forgot myself I guess that I'm just not myself And I know that we're not supposed to cry Love was supposed to die when people get to know each other In case I don't see you again Really wish you well Baby, this is hell Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive At least we'll have a moment here With honest pain and tears Then say goodbye Come lay your head down on my heart The morning suddenly leads you You know, yet I don't need you We can't go back to yesterday Go away Girl, I wished you'd stay Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive And we'll end like we began And even though it's over Can't we try Let's go back to yesterday Just another helpless fool in love is what I am But I don't give a damn See, once before I set you free I just got to hold you close to me Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye I want you to touch me, touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive And if we don't survive Then we can end like we began And even though it's over Can't we try Let's go back to yesterday See, I'm just another, just another helpless fool in-in love is what I am But I don't give a damn See, once before I set you free I got to have you Can't we try Love was never born to say goodbye

Yesterday, I guess in time that's what I'll have to call today Somehow when the pain is now gone away A memory that's what everything we share Will have to be What my mind needs a sure way of protecting me The touch of time toward the gentle world we knew But our gentle world for loving you We found something that was real You taught me how to feel Guess I feel too much where we just meant To touch and go Maybe when I've had a little time to grow My mind won't remember but my heart will know When somewhere else is where i'm suppose to be You won't remember ever loving me When somewhere else is where I'm suppose to be You won't remember ever loving me
