We  got some thin’ 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
 Oh listen,  it don’t really matter to me, baby
 You believe  what you wanna believe
 You see, you  don’t have to live  like a refugee,
 No
Somewhere,  somehow, somebody  must'a
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  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 lovers been cursed
 Right  now this seems real to you
   (
 X2 )
 But it’s one of those things you got to feel to be true.......yeah
 REPEAT INTRO
 Somewhere,  somehow, somebody must'a
 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
 How 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, 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 Yeah
 (Don't  have to live like  a refugee)
 No baby, you  don’t have to live  like a refugee
