Lyrics for I'm a Victim

She came in out of the rain Her eyes reflecting all my sorrow and pain I tried to turn her away Said 'Get out! Wait a minute, won't you stay?' [Chorus:] Come on in? 'Cos I'm a victim Come on in? 'Cos I'm a victim Come on in? 'Cos I'm a victim Come on in? 'Cos I'm a victim Now that I have changed my old ways Too many broken hearts have been the price that I've paid A lesson I never learned A trusting heart is the heart that gets you burned [Chorus] She came in out of the cold Well this time I knew I had to tell her 'No!' She pleaded 'Just for a while' Well I blew my answer when she smiled [Chorus] Tell me why? Why I end up alone, again and again Tell me why? Why I bleed frustration; when will the pain end? Tell me why? I'm going crazy Tell me why? Why I'm going crazy At night, I get on my knees And Lord knows I pray WHY? Loneliness!
