Victim of Circumstance
--words and music by Michael Stanley/Bob Pelander

from "North Coast", 1981, EMI Records Group
Take it easy babe we got nothing but time
And time ain't no big deal
I know how you feel
Go ahead if you wanna cry...
Well I heard about your lover
You found him with another
This time it's for real
What you gotta do you gotta look
The boy right in the eye...

	And you gotta tell him what you're thinking
	You gotta stand up baby
	Tell him what's on your mind
	You're tired of losers (tired of losers)
	You're tired of giving just one more chance
	You're tired of being
	A victim of circumstance, ooh

Well I know you heard the rumors
Heard 'em plenty of times
But this time you believe 'em
Girl I'm only sorry that it had to do down this way
So you got a little bit crazy but it ain't no crime
If you really want to leave him
No one's gonna blame you
Ain't no real way you can stay...

	And you gotta tell him what you're thinking
	You gotta stand up baby
	Tell him what's on your mind
	You're tired of losers (tired of losers)
	You're tired of giving just one more chance
	You're tired of being
	A victim of circumstance

Girl now it's time that you found out
That there's so much waiting out there now...

	Tell him what you're thinking
	You gotta stand up baby
	Tell him what's on your mind
	You're tired of losers (tired of losers)
	You're tired of giving just one more chance
	You're tired of being
	A victim of circumstance

	You're tired of losers (tired of losers)
	You're tired of giving just one more chance
	You're tired of being
	A victim of circumstance
	A victim of circumstance
	A victim of circumstance
	A victim of circumstance

	Gonna be a victim, ooh
	A victim of circumstance
	Gonna be a victim, ooh
	A victim of circumstance
