I feel tears welling up from down deep inside, Like my heart's got a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. You might think that I'm taking it hard since you broke me off with a call, You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl. Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch, Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall. My heart's out of the running, true love 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, And finding that you're gone from me. There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face, Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC Sports of America Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first Formula race on a hot Sunny afternoon here in California Why? (Why?) I need this plate! Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue Give me a brake! Any track is turning but The Race is in my head I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait Give me a brake! Why? (Why?) Shout! (Shout!) Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait Give me a brake! On the fast lane of the street I'm driving Sometimes, I'm arriving Every day and every night Give me a brake! Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
