“VICTIM OF LOVE” (FREDERICKS)

I’M LOOKIN’ AT THE MAN IN THE MIRROR LOOKIN’ BACK AT A FOOL IN LOVE
NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE’S BEEN THERE, IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
THE JUDGE & JURY LAUGH EVERY TIME
CAUSE IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME OLD STORY
ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY, MUST BE TALKIN’ ‘BOUT SOME OTHER GUY
ALL GUTS BUT NO GLORY
I GOT THE WRONG BOOK OF RULES BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO GIVE IT UP
I’M A VICTIM OF LOVE

BOXCARS FULL OF WISHES, I GOT TRUCKLOADS FULL OF DREAMS
ME I’M SITTIN’ ALONE HERE, WONDERIN’ WHY I GOT THE TIME BUT NOT THE MEANS
THE LOVE POLICE HAVE COME TO TAKE ME AWAY FOR SOME TRUMPED UP CRIME OF PASSION
CITED FOR BEING HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC I GUESS IT’S FALLEN OUT OF FASHION
CAUSE THERE’S A NEW POINT OF VIEW & IT’S LEAVIN’ ME OUT IN THE COLD
JUST A VICTIM OF LOVE

I CAN’T DO A THING ABOUT IT WHEN I’M SAD & BLUE
IT’S A TRAGEDY OF TREMENDOUS MAGNITUDE
BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO DO WITHOUT IT, I NEED A LOVE THATS’ TRUE
SO WHEN IT COMES TO LOVN’ YOU I STAND ACCUSED

I SHOULD’VE SEEN IT COMIN’ BUT I JUST LOOKED THE OTHER WAY
THIS PRETTY ONE KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET & I’M PAYIN’ FOR IT EVERY DAY
SO JUST LIKE OLD WILLY SHAKESPEARE SAID THAT IT’S A COMEDY OF ERRORS
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE, HEAVEN’S ABOVE IT’S A PLAY & WE’RE THE ACTORS
I GOT MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE AND A NEW TATTOO THAT SAYS,
I’M A VICTIM OF LOVE
