Victim lyrics
by Candi Staton



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 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 favourite 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 lond 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 alone
Another woman is the thing
Running around, it just don't seem to change

Victim, victim, victim, victim
I'm a victin 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…
