Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Ah listen, it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe, you see
[Verse 2]
You don't have to live like a refugee
[Verse 3]
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there
And revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody has to fight to be free you see
[Verse 4]
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Oh baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
[Verse 5]
Oh, baby, we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been cursed
Right now it seems real to you but it's
One of those things you gotta feel to be true, yeah
[Verse 6]
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, oh, everybody's had to fight to be free, you see
[Verse 7]
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)
No baby, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby, you don't have to live like a refugee
