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 never do
But I wish someone had (1)________ talked to me
Like I (2)________ to (3)________ 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
Coz I have this need to (4)________ 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 (5)________ to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved (6)________ Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed em what I'd 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 recreated by people
And places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's (7)________ little baby you're holding
And it's that man you (8)____________ with this morning
The (9)________ one you're going to make love with tonight
That's true, 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 and never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring (10)________ costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
