The Race Is On

[Verse]
One day, I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final result would be
Now I live in fear of wakin' up each mornin'
Findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name
Of the one that I hated to face
Somebody else came up to win her
And I came out in second place

[Chorus]
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstrеtch
Heartaches are goin' to thе inside
My tears are holdin' back
And tryin' not to fall
Well, my heart's out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]
One day, I ventured in love, never once suspectin'

Now I live in fear of wakin' up each mornin'
Findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name
Of the one that I hated to face
Somebody else came up to win her
And I came out in second place

[Chorus]
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
And tryin' not to fall
Well, my heart's out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
