Before The End Of The Race

Started out one way, but turned out the other And boy it's confused, I run into your brother I just pay no mind, not trying to be kind There's a mark on my heart, couldn't say that I love ya Couldn't say that I love ya It started out slowly then burned out and smothered I know you don't know that I wanted to love her I took the advice, afforded the price And I woke up amused in the arms of another You know my only regret Is that we never really met before Cause you're lost in the race This didn't turn out now the way I'd imagined They say runner's up never enjoy the pageant And all of those lines, I've had to decline Just like your friends, they're divided and rationed You know my only request Is that we really should be together more Before the end of the ra-ce Ooh, before the end of the race Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce Ooh, before the end of the race Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce Ooh, before the end of the race Let's make it like we never met before The end of the ra-ce
