REFUGEE

Tom Petty


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 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 
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
