The Race Is On
I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And it's stabbed with loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was makin' it hard
Since you broke me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love was scrapped for another's sake
The race is on, and it looks like heartache's
And the winner loses all
One day I had ventured in love
Never once suspecting what the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was 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 back stretch
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love was scrapped for another's sake
The race is on, and it looks like heartache's
And the winner loses all
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And it's stabbed with loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was makin' it hard
Since you broke me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love was scrapped for another's sake
The race is on, and it looks like heartache's
And the winner loses all
One day I had ventured in love
Never once suspecting what the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was 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 back stretch
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love was scrapped for another's sake
The race is on, and it looks like heartache's
And the winner loses all
