Victim

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I started out It was just a matter of seeing you every day, mmm-hmm I looked forward to the times When you would come my way, ooh yeah I longed just to see you Wore a smile just to reach you [Chorus] I became a victim of the very songs I sing [Verse 2, Staton & background vocals] You gave me a brand new reason To start fixing up my face Yes you did Having cocktails at your favorite place, ooh yeah A table just for two Got rid of loneliness, now that I have you [Chorus] I became a victim of the very songs I sing, hmmm [Verse 3, Staton & background vocals] 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, ooh yes I did Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow You're were my future, uh-huh As long as I was being satisfied I didn't want nothing else, no no, baby And now already, I'm being left at home Yes, I am I wonder what it is That makes a man leave a girl so all alone, ooh people Another woman is usually the thing Running around, it just don't seem to change [Pre-Chorus] I'm a victim I'm a victim I'm a victim I'm a victim [Chorus] I'm a victim of the very songs I sing, yeah [Verse 4] 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
