The Race is On

I feel tears welling up cold
 Deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
 And a stab of loneliness sharp as paper, all that I can take
 You might have thought that
 I'll be taking it hard since you broke it off with a call
 But don't you wager, I'ma hide my sorrow
 Might break right down and bawl
 Now the race is on
 And here comes pride up the back stretch
 Heartaches cut through my inside
 My tears are holding back, trying not to fall
 My heart's out of the runnin'
 Two loves scratching for another's sake
 Now the race is on and it's looking like heartache
 And the winner gonna lose it all
 ♪
 One day, I wagered in love
 Never once suspecting what the final result would be
 And I lived in fear waking up each morning
 Finding that you're gone from me
 There's an aching pain in my heart for the days
 For the one that I hated to face
 Somebody new came up to win her
 And I ended up in second place
 Now the race is on
 And here comes pride up the back stretch
 Heartaches cut through my inside
 My tears are holding back, trying not to fall
 My heart's out of the runnin'
 Two loves scratching for another's sake
 Now the race is on
 And it's looking like heartache
 And the winner gonna lose it all
