[00:04.92]Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
[00:12.29]You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
[00:20.99]I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
[00:27.59]But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[00:36.10]I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run
[00:44.11]Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun
[00:50.84]But I ran out of places and friendly faces
[00:55.47]Because I had to be free
[00:59.75]I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[01:09.62]Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
[01:16.57]Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
[01:25.67]I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
[01:32.49]Won't you share a part of a weary heart

[03:30.62][03:17.07][02:04.64]I've been to paradise
[03:34.68][03:21.13][02:07.82][03:05.25]But I've never been to me
[02:11.60](spoken)
[02:12.87]Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
[02:16.91]A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
[02:22.26]But you know what truth is?
[02:23.39]It's that little baby you're holding,
[02:25.95]And it's that man you fought with this morning,
[02:28.42]the same one you're going to make love with tonight
[02:31.08]That's truth, that's love
[02:33.23]Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
[02:38.22]that might have made me.plete
[02:42.00]But I, I took the sweet life
[02:44.71]And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
