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.....
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I 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 million lies....
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've 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, 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 took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
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

I've been to paradise, never been to me ****************************************** it was 30 years ago when i first heard of this song and the lyrics touched my soul...like a story narrated from a movie...
[Zayn] Your hand fits in mine Like it's made just for me But bear this in mind It was meant to be And I'm joining up the dots With the freckles on your cheeks And it all makes sense to me
[Liam] I know you've never loved The crinkles by your eyes when you smile You've never loved Your stomach or your thighs The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
[Zayn + Liam] But I'll love them endlessly
(Chorus) I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth But if I do, it's you, Oh it's you, They add up to I'm in love with you, And all these little things
[Louis] You can't go to bed, Without a cup of tea, And maybe that's the reason That you talk, in your sleep And all those conversations Are the secrets that I keep Though it makes no sense to me
[Harry] I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape You never want to know how much you weigh You still have to squeeze into your jeans But,
[Harry + Niall] You're perfect to me
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth But if it's true, It's you, It's you, They add up to I'm in love with you, And all these little things
[Niall] You'll never love yourself Half as much as I love you You'll never treat yourself right, darlin' But I want you to, If I let you know, I'm here for you, Maybe you'll love yourself, Like I love you Oh
[Harry] And I've just let these little things Slip, out of my mouth, 'Cause it's you, oh it's you, It's you, They add up to And I'm in love with you, And all these little things,
[All] I won't let these little things Slip, out of my mouth, But if it's true, It's you, it's you, They add up to, I'm in love with you, And all your little things
* Because I’m blind, I only see you
Because my heart is frozen, I hug you
When my trembling lips touch your ears
I say the words I dreamed of since I met you, I love you
The words that lingered around my mouth
The words that I memorized thousands of times
The words that my heart kept telling me to say
Because you kept growing bigger inside
They were words that stopped me from breathing
Words that rises up on my lips
Words that I wanted to tell you on your lips
* Repeat
Words that fall as tears of the unstoppable love
Words that rises up in my heart
Words that make my heart want to explode
* Repeat
I want to live only by your side
Because I only want you
Because I’m blind with love, I only see you
Because my heart has melted, only tears fall
When my trembling lips touch your lips
I will hold you forever in my arms and say, I love you
