[Verse 1]
And I feel tears welling up from down deep inside
Like my heart's got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful I may never shake
You might think that I'm taking it hard since you broke me off with a call
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow when I might lay right down and bawl
[Chorus]
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back, but trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
What the final result would be
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you're gone from me
There's an aching pain in my heart for the name
Of the one that I hated to face
Someone else came out to win her
And I came out in second place
[Chorus]
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back, trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartaches a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back, trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
[Outro]
And now the race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
