Refugee - Melissa Etheridge

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 wanna lay there

And revel in your abandon

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

Everybody’s had to fight to be free

You see, you don’t have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Now 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 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’s had 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)

Baby you don’t have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)
