I feel tears wellin' up goin' deep inside like my heart's gonna get break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful that I may never shake You might say that I was taking it hard, since, she 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 backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside, my tears are holding back, they tryin' 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 heartache, and the winner loses all ♪ One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin' what the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each mornin' and finding that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart for tonight 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 tryin' 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 heartache, and the winner loses all
