B.b. King - The Victim lyrics

I was born in the country Raised in a ghetto street Born in the country Raised in a ghetto street Ever since I was old enough to be one I've been the victim of every woman I meet Every time I meet a pretty girl I lose my self control Bad enough to lose your self control But every time you lose your bankroll Born in the country Raised in a ghetto street Ever since I've been old enough to be one I tell you the girls have been fussing over me Country girls are slick City girls are slicker And the way they keep on slicking me They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker I was born in the country Raised in a ghetto street And ever since I was old enough to be one I've been the victim of every woman I meet I was born in the country Said I was raised in a ghetto street I was born in the country Said I was raised in a ghetto street And ever since I've been old enough to be one I tell you the women have been trying to make a fool out of me Every time I meet a pretty girl I lose my self control Bad enough to lose your self control

But every time you lose your bankroll Born in the country Raised in a ghetto street And ever since I've been old enough to be one I tell you I've been the victim of every woman I meet Country girls are slick City girls are slicker The way they keep on slicking me They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker Born in the country Raised in a ghetto street Ever since I've been old enough to be one I've been the victim of every woman I meet Got a room in a third floor walk up Landlady flung herself at me Couldn't pay my rent for three months And she said "Go man go back to be free!" Born in the country Raised in a ghetto street Ever since I've been old enough to be one I've been the victim of every woman I meet Cold outside The ground was covered with snow But she threw me and my trunk out the window And she hollared "Look out! Victim falling below!" Yes, born in the country Raised in a ghetto street And ever since I've been old enough to be one Women have been trying to make a fool out of me
