I've Never Been to Me
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

謝謝 林寶笙 送給妮的歌

 

要了解這句話 "I've Never Been to Me" 要先了解這首歌,這首歌曾經很 contoversial,但却很多人喜歡。Charlene亦只是一曲走天涯,成了one hit wonder。

歌是講一位曾經放浪形骸、貪慕虛榮的女人,當青春不再,洗盡沿華後藉著勸喻後輩,道出自己的心路歷程。

她說她幹過許多荒唐的事 (I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun;I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see),經歷很多(I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete 這句最富爭議,因她暗示她曾墮胎),到過很多地方 (I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece ; I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run),她甚至去過人間樂土(I've been to paradise),但她從未到過自己那�� (but I've never been to me),甚麼叫到過自己那��? 中文的意思是從沒有做回自己或從未找到真我。
