I feel tears wellin' up
Cold and deep inside
Like my heart's
sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness
sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that
I was takin' it hard
Oh said she 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
goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
They're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin'
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 result would be
How I lived in fear of
wakin' up each mornin'
And findin' that
you're gone from me
There's ache and
pain in my heart
For today was the one
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
goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
They're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin'
True love's scratched
for another's sake
The race is on
and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all
