I’ve Never Been To me这首歌早在1977即由美国女歌手 　　 　　 夏琳(Charlene)灌唱，其后也曾经数次重录，或许是发行 　　 　　 公司财力不够。宣传无门，问世没有多久就销声匿迹。终 　　 　　 于本歌在1982年被一位电台DJ发掘，在自己的节目中密集 　　 　　 的播放，从而老曲新红，一年后拿下全美排行榜第三和英 　　 　　 国第一的好成绩。但是夏琳(Charlene)本人的星途却远非 　　 　　 一帆风顺，另外唱了一些歌都反响平平，1980年代中期就 　　 　　 彻底消失歌坛了。不过这首未曾有自我(I’ve Never Been to Me) 　　 　　 却一直传唱至今，成了夏琳唯一的一首畅销曲。 　　 　　 　　 在动人得旋律下，这首歌有着相当发人深省得内容。歌曲描 　　 　　 述了一个历尽沧桑的女人，看见另外一个已婚妇女在悲叹自 　　 　　 己的命运，忍不住提出一些忠告。她曾经有过放浪形骸的过 　　 　　 往，走遍整个世界，凭着自己的青春美貌，享受着犹如天堂 　　 　　 一般的快乐时光，王公贵族甚至神职人员都曾是她的入幕之宾， 　　 　　 但是到头来，她却只落得一场空，不但走投无路，连个肯友善 　　 　　 相待得人都没有。天堂是什么？那只是人们用来欺骗自己的幻 　　 　　 想，她劝那位彷徨得妇女，好好珍惜自己拥有得，怀抱中得宝宝， 　　 　　 还有那个虽然有时会吵架、但真心爱她得男人，才是真正珍贵得， 　　 　　 那才是爱。或许她到过天堂，但是她从未找到过自我，请不要重 　　 　　 蹈她得覆辙。

我来捧场.我贴歌词

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 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
when 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 but I've never been to me...

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 unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be 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
but I've never been to me...

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...
