每每聽到這首歌..都會讓我喚起心裡面那曾經有過的夢想...從小到大..為了愛情而放棄異地求學機會的夢想.為了家庭而放棄的升遷機會.為了小孩而放棄的升造夢想..我也曾羨慕別人的自由自在..羨慕別人的無拘無束..但因為需要有捨..才會有得..所以我的角色告訴我.我應該要放棄哪些東西..
只要一天..哪怕只要一天..我也好想做做我自己呀..
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
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I 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
Oh, I've been to Niece 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
[spoken]
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
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 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, (I've been to paradise)
But I've 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 Neice and the isle of Greece while
I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made
me complete)
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
