Livin` on your own can be a lonely game
A face in the crowd, no one knows your name
It`s a table for one and a broken heart to go
She`s the kind of lover that you always dreamed
Would come to stay and never wanna leave
But that`s all changed - she`s dealt the final blow
Heaven knows what you were thinkin` of
Don`t blame yourself you`re just a victim of love
It doesn`t matter who was right or wrong
When the fire is over - when the magic`s gone
You pick up the pieces and do the best you can
It knocks you down but you try it again
You get a little older it`s a cryin` shame
Sometimes things don`t sort out like you plan
Who`s gonna help you when you`ve had enough
It ain`t no secret you`re a victim of love
Heaven know what you were thinkin` of
Don`t blame yourself you`re just a victim of love
One goodbye was really all it took
Now you thumb through the pages of your little black book
But somehow all the numbers look the same
You`ve been thinkin` how to get around it
But there ain`t nothin` you can do about it
Nothin` ventured - nothin` gained
Ain`t nothin` you can`t rise above
Call it what you want but you`re a victim of love
Who`s gonna help you when you`ve had enough
Ain`t no secret you`re a victim of love
I don`t wanna lose your love...
