Dave Edmunds - The Race Is On lyrics

I feel tears welling up going 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'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 How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and finding that you're gone from me There's ache and 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 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
