Refugee Lyrics By Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

    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

    pre
    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

    pre
    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
    no 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 got to 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

    pre
    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
    you don’t have to live like a refugee
    don’t have to live like a refugee
