Candi Staton - Victim lyrics

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 co*ktails 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
