i have never been to me - charlene
这是首充满女性自觉的抒情歌曲，回顾了自己荒诞不经的人生，
其叙述方式颇为特别，因为歌中倾诉的对象正是心里的另一个自己。
charlene- 中文名被译为夏琳
出生于50年代的好莱坞。在病弱中度过了童年时代。
16岁辍学 17岁结婚却因吸毒被送进了戒毒所而后离婚。
76年发行了这首曲，很快销声匿迹。
82年无意中被定购一发不可收拾，竟跃居全美排行第三位，也成为 charlene唯一的一首成名曲。
仔细理解歌词会发现这是一个女人在悔恨自己因为追求自由而付出了太多的代价。
它唱出了 charlene自己的心声
hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother and a rich inventive 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 preacherman
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
