英文歌曲：不能抗拒的女声 I've never been to me - charlene

这是电影《沙漠妖姬》经典歌曲，一首非常好听而不太好找但又非常有名的歌,这是首充满女性自觉的抒情歌曲，回顾了自己荒诞不经的人生

I've never been to me
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive 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
I've been to Georgia and California,
anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman
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 isle¹ of Greece
While I sipped² champagne³ on a yacht
I 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,
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
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
But I, 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
