Lyrics

I know why you came to my city,
Your life has changed completely,
And she's the rebel spy.
But just like you, I made some choices,
We all have lost our voices,
Against the Empire here in the sky.

Money was once the only answer,
Now times have changed me so.
Betray you I would never.
The things we did together,
This galaxy could never know.

But now that times are changin',
We'll do some rearrangin',
I'll miss you a lot,
(but) I got to save what I got.
?Cause there are people here,
Who've respected me for years.
Just give me some time...
I'll get you back.

And if you still think I'm a traitor,
For dealing with Lord Vader,
Then you don't understand.
You've not considered consequences,
Of raising my defenses,
Against the empire and its iron hand.

So keep on searching for a reason,
For what you thought was treason,
But soon your mind will change.
Because I?ve got an indication,
We?ll find our vindication ?
Your life for Jabba?s we will soon exchange!
