蓝调女王Charlene Duncan（夏琳邓肯）代表作这首歌早在1977即由美国女歌手夏琳(Charlene Duncan)灌唱，其后也曾经数次重录，或许是发行公司财力不够。宣传无门，问世没有多久就销声匿迹。终于本歌在1982年被一位电台DJ发掘，在自己的节目中密集的播放，从而老曲新红，一年后拿下全美排行榜第三和英国第一的好成绩。但是夏琳(Charlene)本人的星途却远非一帆风顺，另外唱了一些歌都反响平平，1980年代中期就彻底消失歌坛了。不过这首未曾有自我(I've Never Been to Me)却一直传唱至今，成了夏琳唯一的一首畅销曲。在动人得旋律下，这首歌有着相当发人深省得内容。歌曲描述了一个历尽沧桑的女人，看见另外一个已婚妇女在悲叹自己的命运，忍不住提出一些忠告。她曾经有过放浪形骸的过往，走遍整个世界，凭着自己的青春美貌，享受着犹如天堂一般的快乐时光，王公贵族甚至神职人员都曾是她的入幕之宾，但是到头来，她却只落得一场空，不但走投无路，连个肯友善相待得人都没有。天堂是什么？那只是人们用来欺骗自己的幻想，她劝那位彷徨得妇女，好好珍惜自己拥有得，怀抱中得宝宝，还有那个虽然有时会吵架、但真心爱她得男人，才是真正珍贵得，那才是爱。或许她到过天堂，但是她从未找到过自我，请不要重蹈她得覆辙。中英文歌词： I've never been to me-Charlene Duncan 未曾有自我-夏琳邓肯 Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life 嘿，这位太太，你这对自己的生命充满怨恨的太太 You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife 你是个不满现实的母亲，是个失去自由的妻子 I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do 我深信你梦想着那些你永远无法作的事 But I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you 但我真希望有人曾经对我说过现在我想告诉你的事 I've been to Georgia and California, anywhere I could run 啊，我曾到过乔治亚、到过加州，还有任何我可以去到的地方 Took the hand of a preachman and we made love in the sun 我牵过一个神职男人的手，一起在阳光下缠绵 But I ran out of places and friendly faces 但如今我已无处可去、也没有朋友 Because I had to be free 只因为当初我非得自由 I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me 我曾经到过天堂，但我从未找到过自我 Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away 求求你，这位太太，求求你，别就这样走开 Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today 因为我希望能告诉你，为什么今天我会如此孤独 I can see so much of me still living in your eyes 我可以在你的眼中看到太多过去的我 Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies 可否请你分享一些我这曾经活在千万谎言中的疲倦心情 Oh,I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece 啊，我曾到过尼斯和希腊的岛屿 While I sipped champagne on a yacht 坐在游艇上啜饮着香槟 I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got 我曾像是珍哈露般的款摆在蒙地卡罗，秀着我的本钱 I've been undressed by kings 我曾被王侯宽衣解带 And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see 看过好些普通女人看不到的事情 I've been to paradise 我曾经到过天堂 But I've never been to me 但我从未找到过自我 (spoken) （独白） Hey, you know what paradise is?
