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'll never do
But I wish someone had to talked to me
Like I want to talk to you
I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
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 a million lies
I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
Moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pposed to see
I've been to paradise
But never been to me
(spoken)
Hey... you know what paradise is?
It's a lie... a fantasy recreated by people and places as you'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...
I've even been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But 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
Come, lay your head on my heart
Soon we'll be apart
Stay here till the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way
I forgot to say
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself
I know that we're not 'spposed to cry
And love is 'spposed to die
When people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
I really wish you well
Baby, this is hell
Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday and lie
Touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here
With honest pain and tears
Then say goodbye
Come lay your head down on my heart
The morning sun will lead you
You know that I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday
Go away
God, I wish you'd stay
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Once before I set you free
I've got to have you close to me and try
Let's go back to yesterday and lie
Touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
We can end like we began
And even though it's over
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reaching to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun
Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all
Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all
Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty one
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world I pray the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
