You're a discontented mother
I've no doubt you dream about
the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had talked to me
I took the hand of a preacher man and
But I ran out of places and friendly
faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've
'Cause I have this need to tell you
I can see so much of me still
Won't you share a part of a weary heart
that has lived million lies
Oh I've been to Niece and
While I've sipped champagne
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
I've been to paradise but I've never
crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter
I've spent my life exploring
That cost too much to be free
But I've never been to me
I've been to paradise never
I've been to Georgia and California
I've been to paradise never
While I've sipped champagne
I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
