The Victim

(专辑： There Must Be A Better World Somewhere - 1981)

I was born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I was old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet

Every time I meet a pretty girl
I lose my self control
Bad enough to lose your self control
But every time you lose your bankroll
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you the girls have been fussing over me

Country girls are slick
City girls are slicker
And the way they keep on slicking me
They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker
I was born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I was old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet

I was born in the country
Said I was raised in a ghetto street
I was born in the country
Said I was raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you the women have been trying to make a fool out of me

Every time I meet a pretty girl
I lose my self control
Bad enough to lose your self control
But every time you lose your bankroll
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
I tell you I've been the victim of every woman I meet

Country girls are slick
City girls are slicker
The way they keep on slicking me
They keep getting me sicker and sicker and sicker
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet

Got a room in a third floor walk up
Landlady flung herself at me
Couldn't pay my rent for three months
And she said "Go man go back to be free!"
Born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
Ever since I've been old enough to be one
I've been the victim of every woman I meet

Cold outside
The ground was covered with snow
But she threw me and my trunk out the window
And she hollared "Look out! Victim falling below!"
Yes, born in the country
Raised in a ghetto street
And ever since I've been old enough to be one
Women have been trying to make a fool out of me
