Pat Benatar - The Victim lyrics

You've been set up one too many times The perfect victim for the perfect crime You left yourself wide open to the pain So close your eyes now You're out walkin' in the rain You've got a burning desire to be the victim You're bleeding from the soul You're hurting from the heart Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart Your choice of lovers, never very bright Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight You always think their hearts are made of gold And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold You've got a burning desire to be the victim You're bleeding from the soul You're hurting from the heart Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart Cause you're the victim Break the pattern, you've gotta break away Break the pattern before it gets too late You've got a burning desire to be the victim You're bleeding from the soul You're hurting from the heart Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart Cause you're the victim Written by: neil geraldo & billy steinberg
