The Victim — текст песни (Pat Benatar)

Youve been set up one too many times

The perfect victim for the perfect crime

You left yourself wide open to the pain

So close your eyes now

Youre out walkin in the rain

Youve got a burning desire to be the victim

Youre bleeding from the soul

Youre hurting from the heart

Things you cant be told are gonna tear you apart



Your choice of lovers, never very bright

Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight

You always think their hearts are made of gold

And youre the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold



Youve got a burning desire to be the victim

Youre bleeding from the soul

Youre hurting from the heart

Things you cant be told are gonna tear you apart

Cause youre the victim



Break the pattern, youve gotta break away

Break the pattern before it gets too late



Youve got a burning desire to be the victim

Youre bleeding from the soul

Youre hurting from the heart

Things youre never told are gonna tear you apart

Cause youre the victim
