Victim of love
I'm a victim of loving you
I'm victim of wanting you
I woke up this morning I found your love
Laying beside my soul
Baby, I feel like I'm in heaven
I really believed you darling
You took my heart, you took my soul
(Victim of love) What else can I give you baby
(Victim of love) What else can I say
(Nowhere to hide) Nowhere to hide
(Victim of love) Nowhere to run
(Nowhere to hide) Nothing I can say
(Victim of love) Oh
I'm a victim of loving you, baby
I'm victim of wanting you
Baby, I gave you every inch of my love
What you gonna do with my heart?
I ain't gonna take it no more, baby
'Cause my heart is real
Oh, oh baby
I'm crying in my sleep
I'm walking like a zombie
(Victim of love) Victim
(Victim of love) Victim
(Nowhere to hide) Nowhere to hide
(Nowhere to hide) I can't hide
(Victim of love) I can't sleep, I can't eat
(Victim of love) I can-t talk it
(He's a victim) I'm a victim
(He's a victim) Oh
(He's a victim) Of Loving you
(He's a victim) Oh baby, ah
(He's a victim) Yeah
(He's a victim)
(He's a victim) Oh, baby baby
Come on babe, ah
I love you
Baby, I'm a victim of loving you
It's gonna take me to my grave
I'm gonna keep on loving you
The song "Victim of Love" by Bradley Charles is a heartbreaking lament of someone madly in love but whose love is unrequited. The lyrics talk about being a victim of love, wanting someone desperately, and having nowhere to hide from the pain of unrequited love. The song suggests that the singer has given his all to the person he loves and has been left heartbroken despite his efforts to be with them. He awakes each morning with the love he has for them next to his soul, but the person he loves doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The singer is trapped in a situation where he feels powerless and has nowhere to run or hide from the torment of his unreturned love.
The song echoes the pain of heartbreak and the helplessness that comes with it. The singer repeats the phrase "victim of love" several times, highlighting the feeling of complete vulnerability and the powerlessness of being at the mercy of someone else's feelings. The lyrics are deeply emotional and speak to anyone who has been left heartbroken by a love that was never returned.

You get the guitar on the left side of your headphones, and the soft percussion on the right, and square in the center is Charles Bradley’s phenomenal voice. This song is highly underrated. Amazing.
