Victim

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
