Livin' on your own can be a lonely gameA face in the crowd - no one knows your nameIt's a table for one and a broken heart to go
She's the kind of lover that you always dreamedWould come to stay and never wanna leaveBut that's all changed - she's dealt the final blowHeaven knows what you were thinkin' ofDon't blame yourself you're just a victim of love
It doesn't matter who was right or wrongWhen the fire is over - when the magic's goneYou pick up the pieces and do the best you can
It knocks you down but you try it againYou get a little older it's a cryin' shameSometimes things don't work out like you plan
Who's gonna help when you've had enoughIt ain't no secret you're a victim of loveHeaven knows what you were thinkin' ofDon't blame yourself you're just a victim of love
One goodbye was really all it tookNow you thumb through the pages of your little black bookBut somehow all the numbers look the sameYou've been thinkin' how to get around itBut there ain't nothin' you can do about itNothin' ventured - nothin' gained
Ain't nothin' you can't rise aboveCall it what you want but you're a victim of love
Who's gonna help you when you've had enoughAin't no secret you're a victim of love
I don't wanna lose your love...
