The Race Is On Lyrics

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shakeNow you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
When I may lay right down and bawlNow the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fallMy hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner looses allOne day I ventured in love
Never once suspectin' what the final result would be
And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
Finding that you're gone from meThere's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her

And I came out in second placeNow the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fallMy hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses allNow the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fallMy hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses allThe winner loses all
