So your grandmother sounds to me
A woman I would be proud to be
And you say she reminds you of me
Every little boy is so naive
Oh, I wanna be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chances is circumstance and romancing any man
A man who could get his dirty little hands on me
Oh
So your grandfather sounds like me
Head up, shoulders back, proud to be
Every little girl is so naive
Falling in love with the first man they see
Oh, I wanna be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance is circumstance and romancing any man
A man who could get his dirty little hands on me
Oh, oh
When we were in love (if we were)
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
Today I will feel something other than regret
Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
I've damned near got no dignity left
I've damned near got no dignity left
Oh, I wanna be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance is circumstance and romancing any man
A man who could get his dirty little hands on me
Oh, oh
When we were in love (if we were)
When we were in love
You were a dove
And I rose above you and wept
When we were in love (if we were)
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
