1ST VERSE
Gotta get away but it won't let me
Running from love. It's trying to get me
Jumped over the fence but it jumped behind me
So I hit the streets, hoping and praying it wouldn't find me
I walked around thinking I lost it
Nothing but trouble every time I come across it
But it tracked me down. I saw it runnin' for me
Now I'm runnin' again like smoke in the wind but it keep on comin' for me
CHORUS
Gotta get away...don't wanna be a VICTIM of love today
Don't wanna be a VICTIM of love...a VICTIM of love
I'm runnin' from love...I'm runnin for my life and I...
Gotta get away...don't wanna be a VICTIM of love today
Don't wanna be a VICTIM of love...a VICTIM of love
I'm runnin' for my life now and I don't wanna be a VICTIM of love
2ND VERSE
I turned the corner. Looked over my shoulder
No sight of love so I thought it was over
But I heard a sound as I turned around
It was right in my face and there was no escape
IT'S GOT ME NOW! And I'm tryin' to fight it
No room to run so I gotta survive it
I'm holdin' on even though it's killin' me
Now I'm hurtin' again but I gotta pretend that it really don't bother me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I keep on runnin'...runnin' from love
But it just keep comin' back for me...for me...for me. Whoa...
I keep on runnin'...runnin' from love
But it just keep comin' back to me...to me...
And I can't get away no more!
3RD VERSE
Last time love caught me, you wouldn't believe it
It put a hole in my chest and left my heart in pieces
But this time I'm ready! When it comes to get me,
It won't have nothin' to look for. 'Cause my heart is already missing
I locked it up and swallowed the key
Threw the box in the ocean and watched it sink
Deep in the water where the sun aint never shining
You can search if you wanna but I bet you'll never find it
CHORUS
ADLIBS
Get away!
A VICTIM of love yea...
VICTIM of love...VICTIM of love
I'm runnin' for my life now
But I can't get away...get away
I keep gettin' caught by love
I don't wanna be a part of this shit no mo
Love, love, love....don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a VICTIM of love
