Title:I've Never Been To Me
Singer:Charlene


(lyric)
Hey lady, you lady
Cursin' at your life
You're a discontened mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But I wish someone had of talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you
I've been to Georgia and CaliforniaAnd anywhere
I could runTook 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 freeI've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Please lady, please ladyDon't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone todayI 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
Oh I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greecewhile
I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte CarloAnd 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 paradiseBut I've never been to me

(summary of the song)
She has been to many places and loved many man in there.
But she couldn't get real her partner.
I think she want to know her real wish and real love.

(why I like this song)
I like this song because of this melody and singer's voice .
This melody and the singer's voice are so beautiful.
Other reason is that this song is the theme song of the movie "Something's Gotta Give".
I like this movie so much.
This song pretty match this movie.

You find a beautiful song, Momoko!
I've listend to this song many times, but I didn't realize it has the sad lyric.
But I wish I were this woman because she has been to so many places...

I had never heard this song before. I guess I don't really know anything about Charlene. Is she popular? Do many students know about her?

Charlene has a very beautiful voice for ballads (which is what this song is). Her singing style is not really my style, but she really does have a beautiful voice, so the song is more beautiful simply because of her strong vocals.

Also, you are missing some of the lyrics in the last part of the song. I think that you can add these lyrics by editing your post. You can find these lyrics at this page:

I think this is a sad song because the singer is talking about her many regrets, so even though she has been many places, her life is still tragic.

Since I had never heard this song before, it is new to me (completely).

This song is very nice!!
First I thought this was a love song but, it was a ballad song.
I thought also she like to travel around the world.

I've heard this song in Japanese.
I like this phrase 'I've no doubt you dream about The things you'll never do'.
