Victim Lyrics - House Of Love - 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 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 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 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
