歌 :
Charlene
Hey lady, you lady
Cursin' 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 of talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you...
Ooh, 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 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
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people
And piaces 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 cryin'
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
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
I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I've been to paradise..
この曲結婚式で流すとか、
学生時代にセックスばっかりして、婚期のがしたお前らざまああああwwww
ってニュアンスバリバリの曲やろ
この曲はキムタクが好きだって昔、TVで紹介してた。
日本語カバーの歌詞が全然違っててびびる
この日本語バージョン母親が結婚式で歌っていたな
愛してくれた彼より、お金持ちとの結婚を選んで後悔してるって歌詞っだったのか・・・
『愛はかげろうのように』この邦題付けた人いいセンスしてますね。
この曲って最初のリリースの段階で
全く注目されなかったわけじゃなくて全米で小ヒットしてるよね。
しかもこの曲も含めて3曲連続で小ヒット連発と渋い成功ぶり。
