I've Never Been To Me ( another version )
( 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'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
'Cause 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 Niece 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
[spoken] 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, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

"Don't be anything less than everything you can be"
Don't be a leaf if you can be the tree
Don’t be a raindrop if you can be the sea
For a leaf may fall but the tree remains
It may never rain at all but the sea remains
Better to be the tree and the sea. See?
Don’t be a cloud if you can be the sky
Don’t be a feather be a bird and fly
Clouds roll by but the sky rolls on
And a bird can fly with a feather gone
Be a bird and the sky and a tree and the deep blue sea
Don’t be anything less than everything you can be.
Don’t be a sail if you can be the boat
Don’t be the lining if you can be the coat
It may lose its sail but a boat will float
A coat without a lining is still a coat
Better to be the boat and the coat "Quote," Don’t be the stick if you can be the drum
Don’t be the sugar be the plum by gum
You can break a stick but the drum will beat
Without a sugarcoat plums are good to eat
Better to be the drum and the plum and the coat and the boat and the bird and the sky and the tree
And the deep blue sea
Don’t be anything less than everything you can be Don’t be the moo if you can be the cow
Don’t be the furrow if you can be the plow
‘Cuz you can’t get milk from a moo, no way
A furrow’s in a rut but a plow’s ok
Better to be the cow and the plow Now, Don’t be the sting if you can be the bee
Don't be the 2 if you can be a 3
‘Cuz a sting can’t make you a honeybun
Take 2 from 3 and you still got 1
Better to be the 3 and the bee and the cow and the plow and the drum and the plum and a coat boat bird sky tree and the deep blue sea
Don’t be anything less than everything you can be Don’t be the string if you can be the kite
Don’t be be the darkness if you can be the light
If you lose the string you can fly a kite
But would anybody ever fly a kite at night?
Better to be the kite and the light Right? Don’t be the tail if you can be the dog
Don’t be the bump if you can be the log
He can wag his tail but he can’t wag he
A bump without a log isn’t much to be
Better to be the dog and the log and the kite and the light and the tree and bee and the cow and the plow and the drum and the plum and the coat and the boat and the bird and the sky and the tree And the deep blue sea
Don’t be anything less than everything you can be!
