---------------------------------------------------------| from here
---------------------------------------------------------|
We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk to 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 wanna 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 been burned
Right now this ain't 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 ot 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)
Baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
