後來,一位地方電台的DJ發現了這首曲子,
便在自己的節目中密集的播放,
慢慢的打響了它的知名度,一年多後,
它登上了全美的排行榜,一首好歌因而重見天日,
免於蒙塵的命運,這也是夏琳唯一的一首暢銷曲。
在此,要順便向黃鶯鶯這位歌手致敬,
因為出道以來,
黃鶯鶯始終保持對流行音樂靈敏的嗅覺與獨特的品味,
是位與世界同步的優質歌手。
她慧眼相中I've never been to me,早在它流行之前,
即翻唱了這首歌,便是極佳的例證。
I've never been to me 也可解釋作"從不曾到過自己的內心深處"。
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
I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preach 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
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
