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

'Coz 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 Nice 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

（口白）

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,

But I’ve never been to me

PS:

天堂是什么？

那只是人们用来欺骗自己的幻想，

好好珍惜自己拥有的，

怀抱中的宝宝，还有那个虽然有时会吵架、但真心爱你的人，

才是真正珍贵的，那才是爱。
