[Verse 1]
I'm down on love
And 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 a woman with a heart stone cold as ice
[Verse 2]
I'm down on love
And I'm clean out of pain
I ain't no stranger to the crying game
Too scared to suffer
And too blind to see
But I played with fire and got what was coming to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now one more heartache
Don't bother me
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery
[Chorus]
I am a victim of love, 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
[Verse 3]
I'm down on love
And I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
Cause I broke the rules
So do me no favors
With your cool advice
I know the losing cost
And I'll pay the price
[Pre-Chorus]
Now one more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
[Chorus]
I am a victim of love, 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
[Lead: Moody]
[Pre-Chorus]
Now one more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
[Chorus]
I am a victim of love, 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 am a victim of love, 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 am a victim of love, 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
