我‧就是我

Charlene

I`ve Never Been To Me 從不曾到過自己的內心深處

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life

You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife

I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do

But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run

Took the hand of a preacherman 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 a million lies

Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

Where I sipped champagne on a yacht

I 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 s'posed to see

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

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, and 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 cryin' for unborn children

That might have made me complete

But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free

Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

I've been to paradise - never been to me

印象中

這是高中時很喜歡的一首歌

天天跟小黃(?)拿歌詞狂練XD

即使那時候根本不知道歌詞是啥意思@.@

但那個旋律令人印象深刻

因緣際會之下(噢~GB是ㄧ個好東西XD)

它這幾天出現在我電腦裡

於是跟著哼了起來

它真的很好聽~~~

但必須在了解歌詞之後

才會發現意境是使人感到悲傷的

有點反諷

卻是深刻的
