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 a talk 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 lives Ooh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece When I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo And showed them what I've got I've been undressed by kings And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed 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 created about people and places As we 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 are gonna make love to 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 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 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 - never been to me

No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things That went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the grief doesn't last It is gone I've forgotten the past And the memories I had I no longer desire Both the good and the bad I have flung in a fire And I feel in my heart That the seed has been sown It is something quite new It's like nothing I've known No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things that went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the seed that is new It's the love that is growing for you

What's it all about, Alfie Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule As sure as I believe There's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie

She only smiles He only tells her That she's the flowers The wind And spring In all her splendour Sweetly surrendering The love That innocence brings Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Now I watch closely And I watch wholly I can't imagine Love so rare She's young and tender But will life bend her I look around Is she everywhere? Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's keen Without a doubt With love so captive So sorely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing
