Lyrics
When I started out it was just a manner of seeing you every day (mm-hm)
I looked forward to the times when you would come my way (ooh-ooh, yeah)
I long just to see you
Wore a smile just to greet you
I became a victim of the very song, I sing
You gave me a brand new reason
To start fixin' up my face, yes, you did
Havin' cocktails at your favourite place (ooh-yeah)
A table just for two
Got rid of loneliness, now that I have you
I became a victim of the very song, I sing (uhm-uhm)
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, uh, yes I did
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You're my future (uhn-uhn)
As long as I was being satisfied
I didn't need nothin' else
And now, now 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 so alone (uh-uh)
Another woman is usually the thing
Running around, it 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 song, I sing
Why don't you practice what you preach (uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
That's what everybody keep tellin' me
They say, "my advice is good for others (ooh-ooh)
It's got to 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 (ooh-ooh)
The more I keep thinking of you
Uh, baby
Oh well, I guess I'll end up in the lost and found (uhm-uhm)
It looks like love and me
We fought another round (ooh, yeah)
Another woman is his claim to fame
I'd be lucky if I can break these chains
Victim, victim
I'm a victim of the very song, I sing
Common, help me sing
Do, do, wap, wap
Do-do, wap, wap, wap, do, do, do (yeah)
Do, do, do, do, do, do (uhm)
Do, do, do
Help me say, do, do, wap, wap
Do, do, wap, wap
Do, do, wap, do, do, do (uhm)
Do, do, do, do, do (ooh)
I'm a victim
I'm a victim, I'm a victim, I'm a victim
Victim of the very song, I sing
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
Victim
That I captured by the day (uh, uh, uh)
Victim (uh, uh, Lord)
Victim
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim of the very song, I sing (uh, uh, uh, uh)
I can't help myself (uh, uh)
Victim (yeah, yeah)
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim (you see, I'm a victim)
Victim of the very song, I sing (uh, uh) (my man and me)
Victim (common, common, common)
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim (yeah, yeah)
Victim (you see, I'm a victim, oh yeah, I am)
Victim of the very song, I sing (uh, uh) (I get you baby)
Victim
Victim (yes I am)
Victim (I'm a victim)
Victim (alright) (see, I'm a victim)
Victim (you could love me, baby
Victim
