Victim Lyrics

When I started out
It was just a matter of seeing you everyday
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 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, right on in
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You're the future
As long as I was being satisfied
I didn't need nothing else

And now already
I'm being left at home
I wonder what it is that
Makes a man leave a girl so all alone
Another woman is 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 good 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, victim, victim, victim
I'm a victim of the very song I sing

Help me say
Do, do, wap
Oh! oh! do, do wap
Oh! oh! do, do wap
Oooooo

Help me say
Do, do wap
Oh! oh! do, do wap
Oh! oh! do, do wap
Oooooo
