You said you'd never fake it
You swore we'd always make it last
And it sounded so real
And I fell into your love trap
Lying, yes, I was the perfect fool
I believed every word
And it never occurred to me
Is this a game are you just playing
Will I be losing you

Oh am I a victim of love, victim of love
Did you take me for a ride
Victim of love, victim of love
Then I hope you're satisfied
Victim of love, victim of love
Were you only using me
Victim of love, victim of love
What a fool you made of me

My friends warned me about you
I laughed, how could I doubt your love
Then I saw you with him
And my world crumbled around me
I felt life slip away from me
There's a void inside me
Where my heart used to be
So now, this was a game you were just playing
And now I'm losing you

Oh I'm a victim of love, victim of love
Well you took me for a ride
Victim of love, victim of love
Well I hope you're satisfied
Victim of love, victim of love
You were only using me
Victim of love, victim of love
What a fool you've made of me

You said you'd never fake it
You swore we'd always make it last
And it sounded so real
And I fell into your love trap
Lying, yes, I was the perfect fool
I believed every word
And it never occurred to me
Is this a game are you just playing
Will I be losing you

Oh am I a victim of love, victim of love
Did you take me for a ride
Victim of love, victim of love
Then I hope you're satisfied
Victim of love, victim of love
Were you only using me
Victim of love, victim of love
What a fool you made of me

My friends warned me about you
I laughed, how could I doubt your love
Then I saw you with him
And my world crumbled around me
I felt life slip away from me
There's a void inside me
Where my heart used to be
So now, this was a game you were just playing
And now I'm losing you

Oh I'm a victim of love, victim of love
Well you took me for a ride
Victim of love, victim of love
Well I hope you're satisfied
Victim of love, victim of love
You were only using me
Victim of love, victim of love
What a fool you've made of me

What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar and he put out
Your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
Victim of love , I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
And you know how to play it so well

Some people never come clean
I think you know what I mean
You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire
Looking for love in between

Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine
This ain't no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends,
Your 'been around the world' friends
That talk is for losers and fools

Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm no
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
Show me, what kind of love have you got?

Victim of love, you're just a victim of love
I could be wrong , but I'm not
Victim of love, now you're a victim of love
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?

What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys

How come you still got his gun in your hand?

Victim of love , I see a broken heart

I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

You say that I could show some emotion
That I've been keeping secrets from you
But I can see through all your sweet talk
And all of your affections untrue

I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can break down the door
'Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war

Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complication

I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice

I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me

Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...

Livin' on your own can be a lonely game
A face in the crowd - no one knows your name
It’s a table for one and a broken heart to go

She's the kind of lover that you always dreamed
Would come to stay and never wanna leave
But that's all changed - she's dealt the final blow
Heaven knows what you were thinkin' of
Don't blame yourself you're just a victim of love

It doesn't matter who was right or wrong
When the fire is over - when the magic's gone
You pick up the pieces and do the best you can

It knocks you down but you try it again
You get a little older it's a cryin' shame
Sometimes things don't work out like you plan

Who's gonna help when you've had enough
It ain't no secret you're a victim of love
Heaven knows what you were thinkin' of
Don't blame yourself you're just a victim of love

One goodbye was really all it took
Now you thumb through the pages of your little black book
But somehow all the numbers look the same
You've been thinkin' how to get around it
But there ain't nothin' you can do about it
Nothin' ventured - nothin' gained

Ain't nothin' you can't rise above
Call it what you want but you're a victim of love

Who's gonna help you when you've had enough
Ain't no secret you're a victim of love

I don't wanna lose your love...
