The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
 Like my heart's sprung a big break
 And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
 That I may never shake
 Now 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 the sorrow
 When I may break right down and bawl
 Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
 Heartaches are 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 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 backstretch
 Heartaches are 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
