Melissa Etheridge - Refugee lyrics

We got somethin' we both know it

We don't talk too much about it

Yeah 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

Somewhere, somehow, somebody

Must have kicked you around some

Tell me why you wanna lay there

And revel in your abandon

Listen 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

Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee

Baby we ain't the first

I'm sure a lot of other lover's been cursed

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

It don't really matter to me

Everybody's had to fight to be free

You see you don't have to live like a refugee

I said you don't have to live like a refugee
