Victim of a Foolish Heart - Bettye Swann

Your scars were still showing

When I first met you, baby

From all the wrong

She had done to you

Then I came along

And applied a little loving

Slowly but surely

I brought you through

But now she’s back

To rekindle that old flame

She’s got a different angle, baby

But she’s playing the same old game

Baby, don’t be a victim of a foolish heart

Don’t let her lies get next to you

She’s just trying to tear us apart

She’s trying to make me her victim too

Now I know she comes round here

Every time I leave (look out, baby)

'Cause she knows she’s still

On your mind (got her on your mind)

Even a wise man jumps in misery

Somewhere down the line (listen, baby)

But only a fool would jump

The second time

Our affair is growing

Stronger every day

Don’t let her come and

Steal our happiness away

Baby, don’t be a victim of a foolish heart

Don’t let her lies get next to you

She’s just trying to tear us apart

Trying to make me a victim too

Oh, baby, don’t be a

Victim of a foolish heart

Don’t let that girl get next to you

She’s just trying to tear us apart

She’s trying to make me her victim too

Don’t let her do it

Don’t you be a victim of a foolish heart

Don’t let her lies get next to you
