Victim of Love fue el tercer sencillo del álbum The Circus y el primero en editarse tras la salida del mismo. Este sencillo fue un éxito al colocarse en el puesto 7 en el ranking británico y el número 26 en Alemania.
La introducción de Victim of Love simula público, como si estuviera tocada en vivo. Desde un principio se convirtió en un tema así infaltable en los shows en vivo.

Lyric:
I don't wanna look
like some kind of fool
i don't wanna break
my heart over you
i'm building a wall
everyday it's getting higher
this time i won't end up
another victim of love
You say that i could
show some emotion
that i've been
keeping secrets from you
but i can see through
all your sweet talk
and all of your affection untrue
i'm gonna find you out
if i scream and i shout
you won't break down my protection
I don't wanna look
like some kind of fool
i don't wanna break
my heart over you
i'm building a wall
everyday it's getting higher
this time i won't end up
another victim of love
I'm gonna lock up
what i'm feeling inside
ain't no way you can
break down the door
cause this time i've learned my lesson
you can take this declaration of war
step right back
put on your coat and your hat
gonna avoid all complications
I don't wanna look
like some kind of fool
i don't wanna break
my heart over you
i'm building a wall
everyday it's getting higher
this time i won't end up
another victim of love
