I've Never Been To Me by Charlene
Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a (1)________________________ mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you never do
But I wish someone had (2)________ (3)____________ to me
Like I want to (4)________ to you
(Ooh) I've (5)________ to Georgia and California and
Anywhere I (6)__________ run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we (7)________ (8)________ 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 (9)__________ been to me
Please lady, please lady

Why I'm all (12)__________ today
I can see so much of me (13)__________ living in your eyes
Won't you (14)__________ 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 sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved (15)________ Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed em (16)________ 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 (17)________ to paradise
But I've never been to me
Hey, you know what (18)________________ 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 that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you (19)____________ (20)________ this morning
The same one you're (21)__________ to make love with tonight
That's true, that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying for (22)____________ children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the (23)__________ life and never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I (24)__________ my (25)________ exploring
The (26)____________ (27)______________ (28)________ costs too much to be free
