The song "I've Never Been to Me" was a country and pop hit by Charlene in 1982. It was a song that promoted traditional values: the singer is telling another young woman that she now regrets having been so free, having had so many relationships, and never having a husband and children. She is trying to warn this young woman not to make the mistakes she made. The lyrics seem to say that only a woman who adopts the traditional lifestyle can be truly happy. The line about "I've been to paradise but I've never been to me" is about seeming like you've got it all (she has met famous people, been to exciting places and done exciting things), yet in the end, she says her life is empty. She is miserable, because she has realized too late that material possessions and popularity don't bring happiness. She laments losing her chance to marry and have a family. "I've Never Been to Me" was not without controversy-- some women saw it as criticizing a woman's right to be independent; but other women loved it, and it went to #3 on the Billboard charts.

How do you apply for a title if a title was never issued?
If a title was never issued, how did you get the car? Every vehicle starts out with a manufacturer's certificate that can be traced. It should be possible to trace the first sale of that vehicle. If it was a legal sale and that owner never got a title and sold you the car, you should be able to contact the appropriate governmental entity and get a title. Normally when you purchase a car that has been a lease and never had a title issued, the seller has all the legal documents that you need to get the title. Frequently, you paid a fee for the seller to get you the title.
