Victim lyrics

When I started out

It was just a matter of seeing you every day

I looked forward to the times

When you would come my way, oh yes

I longed just to see you

Wore a smile just to greet you

I'm became a victim of the very song I sing

You gave me a brand new reason

To start fixing up my face

Having cocktails at your favorite place

A table just for two

Got rid of loneliness, now that I have you

I became a victim of the very song I sing

I told you young hearts run free

When I didn't listen to myself

Engulfed by the power of love

I just fell right in, oh yes i did

Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow

You're my future

As long as I was being satisfied

I didn't want nothing else

And now already, I'm being left at home

I wonder what it is

That makes a man leave a girl so alone

Another woman is usually the thing

Running around, it just don't seem to change

Victim, victim, victim, victim

I'm a victim of the very song I sing

Why don't you practice what you preach

That's what everybody's telling me

If my advice is good for others

It's got to be good for me

So I try to occupy my mind

Keep myself busy all the time

But the more I try to do

The more I keep thinking of you

Oh well, I guess I'll end up in the lost and found

Looks like love and me

We done fought another round

Another woman is his claim to fame

And I'm lucky if I can break these chains

Victim

Help me sing do do wap, oh oh do do wap
