Victim of Love

I was happy being lonesome, sad and blue Perfectly miserable before I met you Then you came along, gentle as a lamb Undermined all of my solitary plans I shoulda told somebody call the police Tell them I was having an emergency I put up a fight but it wasn't no use Had to face up to the fact I couldn't live without you I'm a victim of kindness, I'm a victim of sweet I'm a victim of the way you wrap your arms around me Perfectly tortured soul I was Look at me now I'm a victim of love Catepillar turns into a butterfly Frigid winter night into a summer sky Son of a bitch into a really nice guy Standing at the altar with tears in my eyes I'm a victim of kindness, I'm a victim of sweet I'm a victim of the way you're always takiing care of me Perfectly tortured soul I was Look at me now I'm a victim of love Snow on the grass, melting into mud Buckets on the branches and green on the bud Sap is on the burner, bubbling up My baby's in the kitchen I'm a victim of love I count my blessings every single day Yesterday alone I had a hundred and eight Twenty-three years we'll be together this fall Nights are getting shorter and the kids are getting tall I'm a victim of kindness, I'm a victim of sweet I'm a victim of the way you're always patient with me Perfectly tortured soul I was Look at me now I'm a victim of love Happy as a clam, before it gets dug, look at me now I'm a victim of love, Whenever I want I get a great big hug, It's the opposite of what I thought it was Can of diet soda and a meatball sub
