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 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.
