When I started off, it was just a matter of seeing you every day
I looked forward to the times when you would come my way
How long, just to see you
One smile, just to reach you
I became a victim of the very songs I sing
You gave me a brand new reason to start fixing up my face
Yes you did, 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 songs I sing
I tore your young hearts run free, when I didn't listen to myself
Engulfed by the power of love, I just fell right in
Oh yes I did
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow, you were my future
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
Oh, oh people
Another woman is usually the thing
Running around just don't seem to change
I'm a victim
I'm a victim
I'm a victim
I'm a victim
I'm a victim
Of the very songs I sing
Why don't you practice what you preach
That's what everybody keeps telling me
They say my voice is good for others, then it's gotta be good for me
Can't you see
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 baby
Oh well
I guess I'll end up in the lost and found
It looks like love and me
We've fought another round
Oh yeah
Another woman is his claim to fame
I'll be lucky, I can break these chains
Victim
Victim
I'm a victim
Of the very songs I sing
Come on, help me say
Doo-doo-wah, ah-ah-doo-doo-wah
Ah-ah-doo-doo-wah
Doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-doo-doo
Oh, help me say
Doo-doo-wah, ah-ah-doo-doo-wah
Ah-ah-doo-doo-wah
Doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-doo-doo
I'm a victim, love
I'm a victim, love
I'm a victim
I'm a victim
Victim
Of the very songs I sing
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
I'm captured by the game
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
I'm a victim
Oh, yes I am
You see, I'm a victim
Oh, lord
I'm a victim
Victim
Of the very songs I sing
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I'm a victim
Victim
I'm a victim
You see, I'm a victim
Victim
Victim
Of the very songs I sing
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
Oh, oh, oh
Victim
Yeah, yeah
You see, I'm a victim
Oh, yes I am
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, baby
I can't get you out of my mind
Oh, yeah
Victim
Yes, I am
I'm a victim
Oh, right
You see, I'm a victim
You could love me, baby
Oh, yeah
