  • 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)...

    • 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.
