  • Re, you should read the whole lyric of the song. And maybe one day, you'll stop to take a deep breath somewhere in the middle of your path of life and while doing so, you'll look back and find yourself exactly in the same path as on where one of the two women in the song is. The question is: which one?

  • I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME
    Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
    you're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
    I have 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
    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 lives
    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 them what I've got
    I've been undressed by kings
    and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
    I've been to paradise .....
    (this is my favorite part-red)
    "Hey, you know what paradise is?
    It's a lie
    a fantasy we created about people and places
    as we 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 are gonna make love to tonight
    that's truth that's love"

    Sometimes I've been to crying for the unborn children
    that might have made me complete
    but I, I took the sweet life
    I never knew I'd been bitter from the sweet
    I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
    that costs too much to be free
    hey lady I've been to paradise...

    my favourite song for my favourite friend
    -Harum
