Charlene's Never Been to Me is definitely one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard. At the same time I've always found it absolutely hilarious! Especially when it gets to the part where she starts sort of pep talking to herself... :D
♫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
♪Whoooa, 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 million lies
♫Whoooa, I've been to Nice
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 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
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
But I've never been to meeeeeee♪♪♪
I've been to paradise
♫(Never been to me)...
Who sings this? I think I've might of heard this before and for some reason this reminds me of the song where the singer tells her life story to someone in a grocery store.
What's the most DEPRESSING song you've ever heard?

Ha! I was going to say this too. It's a shame it's so cheesy because it could have actually been really touching (when sober).
Who sings this? I think I've might of heard this before and for some reason this reminds me of the song where the singer tells her life story to someone in a grocery store.
