Lyrics:

I feel tears wellin' up going deep inside

Like my heart's gonna get broke

And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful

That I may never shake

You might say that I was takin' it hard

Since you broke me off with a call

But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow

When i may break right down and bawl



Now the race is on

And here comes pride up the backstretch

Heartaches 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

Now I live in fear of waking up each morning

Finding that she's gone from me

There's aching 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 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
