Melissa Etheridge Refugee song 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

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

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)

Oh baby we ain't the first

I'm sure a lot of other loves been cursed

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 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
