The Long Run

They never said it'd be easy
But I never knew it'd be this hard
Two hearts tryin' to pull together
But so many times we're pullin' apart
We try it your way, we try it mine
But thank God
We find the faith to keep on tryin'

And I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their love along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
'Cause I am in this love for the long run, yeah

In the heat of the moment
We say things we're gonna regret
Words can leave a bitter memory
Or help us to forgive and forget
Communication, it's our lifeline
'Cause, honey, things
Are gettin' tougher all the time

And I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their love along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
'Cause I am in this love for the long run

Remember when our love began
Oh, baby, I still feel the very same way
And I believe God has put us together
Forever

And I don't, no, I don't, listen!

I don't care what the cynics say
How many just give up along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
'Cause, baby, I am in this love for the long run

No, I don't care what the cynics say
How many lose their love along the way
I'm holding on till the race is won
'Cause I am in this love for the long run
Oh, I am in this love for the long run
