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 work out like you plan

Who's gonna help when you've had enough

It ain't no secret you're a victim of love

Heaven knows 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...
