I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
Then she gave me the final goodbye
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow
When I may break right down and cry

Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
Tryin' 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 suspected'
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and a pain in my heart
For the name of the one that I hated to face
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 are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
Tryin' 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

Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
Tryin' 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
