I feel tears wellin' up cold 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 Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow When I may lay right down and bawl Now the race is on And here comes pride in the back stretch Heartaches goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My hearts out of the runnin' 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 suspectin' what the final result would be And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning Finding that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart For today was 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 in the back stretch Heartaches goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're tryin' not to fall My hearts out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all ©1964 renewed 1992 Sony/ATV songs LLC / Glad Music Company
