The Race Is On — текст песни (Stray Cats)

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
