The Race Is On (LP Version)

The Race Is On (LP Version) - Dave Edmunds
I feel tears welling up going deep inside
like my heart's gonna get break
And the stab of loneliness
sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
since she broke me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
when I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are 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
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and
finding that you're gone from me
There's ache and 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 are 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
