Songwriter: Richard Marx

Victim of temptation
Can't make it go away
You see it and you want it, baby
Never hear a word I say
You know I don't want nothing I don't deserve
Oh, no, I won't take less than I know I'm worth
All this talking makes me feel like a monkey in a cage
Ain't no point in trying to change a man of my age

Love unemotional, purely physical
What I'm staying for's a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the heart's invisible
Love unemotional is what you want from me

People say I'm crazy
Wonder why I play your game
Sure beats feeling lonely, baby
But the story ends the same
I want to feel like I'm living in a fairy tale
Don't want to be just another broken heart for sale
Do I have to hit my knees and beg for something more?
Maybe this is not the love I've waited for

Love unemotional, simply physical
What I'm staying for's a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the girl's insatiable
Love unemotional is what you want from me

You feel no shame in being so unkind
All touch and zero feeling
I don't see a way of changing your mind

Girl, this kind of life is bound to leave you all alone
The light inside your heart is on, but no one's home

Love unemotional, truly physical
What I'm looking for's a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the heart's invisible
Love unemotional is what you want from me

Love unemotional, the soul's invisible
What I'm doing here's a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the girl's insatiable
Love unemotional is what you want from me

(You're just a victim of yourself)
Yeah, yeah
(You're just a victim of yourself)
You're just a victim

(You're just a victim of yourself)
You know, you're just a victim, yeah
(You're just a victim of yourself)
Yeah
