Staton, Candi - Victim Lyrics
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, ooh yeah
I longed just to see you
I became 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
Engulfed by the power of love
I just fell right in, ooh yes, I did
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You're the future
As long as I was being satisfied
I didn't want nothing else
And now already, I'm being left at home, yes I am
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
I'm a victim, I'm a victim, I'm a victim, I'm a victim
I'm a victim 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, can't you see
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, ooh baby
Oh well, I guess I'll end up in the lost and found
It looks like love and me
We done fought another round, ooh yeah
Another woman is his claim to fame
And I'm lucky if I can break these chains
Victim...victim...
I'm a victim of the very song I sing
Help me sing do do wap, oh oh do do wap...

My niece sounds jus like this at 11 sing all day inside, but shy won't let anyone hear her
Eight minutes thirty second of Brilliance....

Think of where you were when this came out. I was 4 and anticipating the birth of my sister! Yeah, I'm aged and full of stories. Lol!
This song made your ass dance even if you did not want to!!!!!
As DJ, This will never leave my crate!
I'm a victim too
Damn it! I thought this queen was Gladys Knight..smh
Lauryn Hill sound just like this women
My dad used to play this song when he arrived home and he would sit inside the car and wait until it is finished. He introduced me to this beautiful voice. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Today it marks 7years since he passed away.
Lot of people never realized she was singing bout cocaine in this song. Listen to the words carefully. "A table for 2"
This my DJ Hummer Lummer Play This every weekend Saturday Morning
If more of the young people who listen to this music they would be having fun instead of killing each other today and tomorrow will be a better day , each day for the rest of the time here on Gob wonderful earth God bless each one of you everyday amen
I like this song
So many women can give advice but don’t take heed to their own Words. That’s irony of a silly woman.
I am victim of old skool vibes too
this song neh yeyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Never heard this fire untill 2019!!! Omg!!! Why?
Running around don't seem Tu change
Problem solved. Listen to the beat on Lou Rawls One Life To Live. Love them both.
Some almost 900 gave this song a thumbs down???? People get a life
Loved her 40 years ago, still love her in 2019. Such a pure, strong voice, she didn't need all kinds of electronic backup to make her sound good.
Exceptionnel !
I love how this chords constantly progress & come back around full circle. this song is bouncy but the lyrics are so real. I just discovered her some weeks ago, I’m a fan!
Lole capellan presents..
First time I heard Candi , she was doing In the Ghetto,which was later sung by Elvis Presley. (1968)
I too was once a victim. Now I am a survivor.
She did tell us young hearts run free..now a victim...
Can't stop listening to candy staple
This song Is A Home Cooked Meal. And She Is A LIVING Work of ART IN PHYSICAL BEAUTY AND TALENT.

My mother use to sing this song when she and my stepdad had a fight, RIP to both of them this for u both.
