I've Never Been To Me by Charlene
Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a (1)________________________ mother
And a (2)____________________ wife
I've no (3)__________ you dream about
The (4)____________ you never do
But I wish someone had (5)________ talked to me
Like I (6)________ to talk to you
(Ooh) I've been to Georgia and California and
Anywhere I (7)__________ run
Took the hand of a (8)________________ man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of (9)____________ and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never (10)________ to me
Please lady, please lady
Don't just walk away
Coz I have (11)________ 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
While I (12)____________ champagne on a yacht
I moved like (13)____________ 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 (14)________________ to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Hey, you know what (15)________________ is?
It's a lie
A fantasy recreated by people
And places as we'd like (16)________ to be
But you (17)________ what truth is?
It's (18)________ little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought (19)________ this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's true, that's love
Sometimes I've been to (20)____________ for unborn children
That might have (21)________ me complete
But I, I took the sweet (22)________ and (23)__________ 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 (24)________ to paradise
But I've never been to me
