Refugee lyrics

We got somethin', we both know it,

we don't talk too much about it.

Ain't no real big secret, all the same,

somehow we get around it.

Listen, it don't really matter to me, baby,

You believe what you want to believe, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Somewhere, somehow, somebody

must have kicked you around some.

Tell me why you want to lay there,

revel in your abandon.

Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby,

Everybody has to fight to be free, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

No, baby, you don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Baby, we ain't the first,

I'm sure a lot of other lovers've been burned.

Right now it seems real to you, but it's

One of those things you gotta feel to be true.

Somewhere, somehow, somebody

must have kicked you around some.

Who knows maybe you were kidnapped, tied up,

Taken away and held for ransom.

Honey, it don't really matter to me, baby,

Everybody has to fight to be free, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

No, you don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)
