Candi Staton Victim

When I thought it out
It was just a matter of seeing you everyday
I looked forward to the times
When you would come my way
I longed just to see you
For a 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 lonliness
Now that I have you
I became a victim of the very songs I sang

I told you young hearts run free, but I didnt listen to myself
Engulfed by the power of love
I just fell right in
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You were my future
As long as I was being satisfied
I didnt want nothing else.
And now, already I been left at home, yes I am.
I wonder what it is
that makes a man
Leave a girl so all alone.
Another woman is usually the thing
Running around just dont seem to change

I'm a victim (4X)
I'm a victim of the very songs I sang

Why dont you practice what you preach
That's what everybody keeps telling me
They say
My advice is good for others
Then its gotta be good for me, cantcha 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, ooh baby

Oh well, I guess I'll end up in the lost and found
It seems like love and me
We've fought another round

Another woman
Is his claim to fame
I'll be lucky
If I can break these chains

Victim
Victim
I'm a victim of the very songs I sang

Come on help me say dodowop dodododowop dodowap dodododoooo oooohooooooooo (2x)
I'm a victim (4x)
Victim of the very songs I sang

Victim, got captured by the game
