I feel tears wellin' up going deep inside
|
Like my heart's gonna get broke
|
And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
|
That I may never shake
|
You might say that I was takin' it hard
|
Since you broke me off with a call
|
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow
|
When i may break right down and bawl
|
|
Now the race is on
|
And here comes pride up the backstretch
|
Heartaches going to the inside
|
My tears are holding back
|
They're 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 I live in fear of waking up each morning
|
Finding that she's gone from me
|
There's aching pain in my heart
|
For the name of the one
|
That I had to replace
|
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 going to the inside
|
My tears are holding back
|
They're 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
|
