I've Never Been To Me

Hey boy, you boy, can you spare the time

You look so discontented with our regimented life

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

And I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California

And any place I could run

I took the hand of a girl one time

And we made out 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

Hey boy, please boy, 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 lonely heart that's lived a million lives

Because I've been to China and Asia minor

And any place I could roam

Made some noise with some good old boys

But I always dreamed of home

I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall

There is little I didn't see

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

Sometimes I've been to crying and endless sighing

For what might make me complete

I took the sweet life but never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

Thought my heart would break but learned too late

Only love can make people free

I've been to paradise, I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

I've been to paradise, I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me
