When I started out
It was just a matter of seeing you every day
I looked forward to the times
When you would come my way, oh yes

I longed just to see you
Wore a smile just to greet you
I'm a victim of the very song i sing

You gave me a brand new reason
To start fixing up my face
Having cocktails at your favorite place
A table just for two
Got rid of loneliness,
now that I have you

I became a victim of the very song I sing
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, right on in

Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You're the future
As lond as I was being satisfied
I didn't need nothing else
And now already, I'm being left at home
I wonder what it is
That makes a man leave a girl so alone
Another woman is the thing
Running around, it just don't seem to change

Victim, victim, victim, victim
I'm a victin of the very song I sing

Why don't you practice what you preach
That's what everybody's telling me
If my advice is good for others
It's got to be good for me

So 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 Oh well,

I guess I'll end up in the lost and found
Looks like love and me
We done fought another round
Another woman is his claim to fame

And I'm lucky if I can break these chains
Victim...

 

Help me sing do do wap
oh oh do do wap...

 

2. Young hearts run free

What's the sense in sharing this one and only life
Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears, oooh
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, huh huh

Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said that done, when I just can't break away
Just can't break away

Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
Hmmm, my man and me
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
I said I don't love you

It's high time, just one crack at life
Who we want to live in, trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me
I'm gonna love me for the rest of my days
Caress the babies every time they say
Self resevation is what's really going on today, oooh

Say I wanna leave a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose
When you just can't break away (just can't break away)

Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
Oooh, my man and me
Whoa, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
I said I don't love you, hmmm

Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me (oooh)
Whoa, my man and me
Whoa, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving is all there is (oooh)
No, yeah aaah aaah aaah
