The Race Is On

I feel tears welling up from deep inside Like my heart's going to break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful That I may never shake You might say that I was taking it hard Since you gave me the final goodbye Well, don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow When I may break right down and cry Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I ventured in love never once suspecting What the final result would be? Now how I live in fear of waking up each morning And find that you're gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart for the name Of the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all
