Lyrics I've Never Been To Me Charlene

Song Lyrics For I've Never Been To Me by Charlene

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 talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Whoooa, 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 million lies

Whoooa, I've been to Nice
And the Isle of Greece
While I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've 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 supposed 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 create about people
And places as we'd 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're going to make love with 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've 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)..

Ive never been to me

Fanastic song. Having read these lyrics , I realised that I have been both! Both women, completely leading opposite lives have one thing in common..... Loneliness!!!!

i've never been to me

i think its amazing because it sound like i am experiencing the singer's point of view, its like all the emotions that comes out of the song is upon me. i know it is a sad song but for me i sing it everyday so that someone would hear the lyrics and change the way they are living for the better.

How?

This woman has written the story of my life?
How could this be so similar to my life?
I don't understand? It's an amazing song and it describes my life completely!
How could this happen????????

Who is the preacher man she spoke of, was it the Pope?
