The Race Is On (set I)
Race is On
----------
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
like my heart's gotta be free,
instead of lonliness 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,
Well, I'll wager that I'll hide in sorrow and
I might lay right down and ball.
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.
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.
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.
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

The Race Is On
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
Like my hearts got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.
You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call,
You might wager that Ill 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 hearts our of the running, true love scratched for anothers 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 youre gone from me.
Theres 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.

Thats How Heartaches Are Made
(halley / raleigh)
(thats how heartaches are made)
(thats how heartaches are made)
They told me I was such a fool to love you
They say that youre the kind whod never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When Id be the sorry one
But I said that Im not afraid, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love no-one could want more
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind?
With all the other girls you played, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
I know youre not sincere
And youll never be
But still I want your kisses so desperately
I can never let you go
Baby, you know I know
Every rule of love you disobeyed, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartcahes are made

til The Heartaches Gone
Let the tears fall like rain
If thats what it takes
To wash away your memory
Let the hurt take its time
I dont mind waiting
If thats the way its gotta be
Ill keep holdin on
til the heartaches gone
All the might have beens
And the never will bes
They can never take your place
But theyre all thats left
Of all that ever mattered to me
And they fill this empty space
And Ill keep holin on
til the heartaches gone
Ill make believe you still love me
til the heartaches gone
Ill pretend you still care
Youll always be here
til the heartaches gone
Baby I can make it through
The pain of losing you
If thats the way its gotta be
Ill keep holdin on
No matter how long
til the heartaches gone

The Thrill Is Back
The thrill is back
Well Im ready to raise the blinds in this place
Think Ill rejoin the human race
You said yes, now youre wearing my ring
Guess I can stop playinolb.b. king
Chorus:
cause the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be
I sure could use a haircut and shave
Now that Im crawling outta my cave
Since you said we were through
Ive been down with a case of the blues
Chorus:
But the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be
Bridge:
I think Id better give my doctor a call
And tell him I wont need that prozac after all
Chorus:
cause the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be
Chorus:
Yeah the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be
Tag:
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be

Then The Heartaches Begin
(hicks / clarke / nash)
My sadness it is growing
Im sure its started showing
This feelings getting stronger
I cant hold back out much longer
Its swelling deep inside
Emotions I cant hide
Then the heartaches begin
Im telling you
The heartaches begin
I need someone to guide me
Someone to reconcile me
To take away this pain
Before it starts again
But no one listens to me
Cant control whats set in deeply
Chorus
Four stone walls surround me
An empty shells all you see
My former selfs departed
A man whos broken hearted
Loneliness is what I fear
Holding on to all thats dear
Chorus
Im telling you child

The Barrier
I had this barrier that kept us apart
I built this barrier to protect my heart
So much pain that it had saw
And in my memory banks did it store.
All the heartaches that it had been thru
Trying to get next to you.
These barriers have been compromised
And the pains refuse to subside.
What do I do without you by my side
Do I have the strength, should I continue to try.
What did I do, what did I say
That you turned and walked away.
Every time I hear your name
It brings back the memories and the pain.
You said that you would always love me
You’d always be true, but you left
And broke my heart in two.
So many roads I have traveled
So many mountains I did climb
So many tears I have shed
And still I do not find
The spirit that’s inside of me
Hiding in my soul
This is what they tell me
Which will make my life unfold.
So I take down these barriers
They no longer have any use that I see
In the hopes that my heart
will again be happy and free.

(I'm So Glad) Heartaches Don't Last Always
CHORUS:
Tossing and turning and losing my sleep
'Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I feel uplifted and at ease
Since my heartaches went away

Race Against Myself
(I realize)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
(I realize)
I ran as fast as I can run
I pushed as hard as anyone
But still there's nothing for me
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
(I realize)
Running out, struggle on
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half parted
(I realize)
For my pain I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started
(And I want)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
Against myself

If Teardrops Were Pennies
Wagon and dolly parton
An acre of diamonds Id offer to you
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
Chorus
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
Id have all the riches my pockets would hold
Id be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
The tears that have fallen wont buy you a thing
The heartaches you caused me wont pay for a ring
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
Repeat chorus
But teardrops arent pennies
And heartaches arent gold

No More Heartaches
Shut up, sweetheart, I want you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing I fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that hurts me the most
I will not kiss the thorn
Hearts dont need to bleed to know what theyre for
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches for me
I take back my sweetness
Its overlooked by your lust
My song is unseen
Cause your touch is too tough
I dont think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I unfasten myself from your side
Slip away, quiet as a sigh
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches for me
Beds filled with suspicion
Hearts filled with spite
We sleep with thieves
And forego our sights
Too quick to hold
Someones word over our own
You may be cool
You may know how to flatter
In the end (all I have is matter (? ))
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches
No more heartache anymore
Anymore, oh oh oh, for me.

Take Your Love Away
(r. sharp)
Do my heart a favor take your love away
Thank you for the offer but I cant let you stay
Everytime that love is given
Ive been the one to pay
So save my heart take your love away
Do my heart a favor take your love and run
Lets go our separate way before theres damage done
Oh cuz Im in no condition to fall for anyone
Save my heart take your heart and run
Take your love and hide away
Take my word that nothing but heartaches will follow if you stay
Take your love away
Every time love was given Ive been the one to pay
Save my heart take your love away
Take your love and hide away
Take my word that nothing but heartaches will follow if you stay
Take your love and leave me now
Take a look theres nothing to keep you from breaking me down
Take your love away

Tonight The Heartaches On Me
You couldve heard a pin drop
When they walked through the door
Had to turn my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered, wheres her halo?
Cause she had an angels face
He stood there smiling, holding on
To the one who took my place
So...
Chorus:
Tonight the heartaches on me, on me
Lets drink a toast to the fool who couldnt see
Bartender pour the wine, cause the hurtins all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
I wonder if he told her
Shes the best hes ever known
The way he told me evry night
When we were all alone
Shell find out when the new wears off
Hell find somebody new
Shell learn what heartaches all about
And what Im going through
But...
Repeat chorus
But...
Repeat chorus
Yes tonight, the heartaches on me
Oh lovers like you and me will never say die

No Such Luck
By michael mcdonald/grady walker/harry garfield
If we could dream our lives away
That would be just fine
Without the cares and fears that prey on everybodys mind
Tryin to get back to a memory
Tryin to put the flame back in our hearts
As we look back and we see the past
Like it never was
Chorus:
cause its no such luck
There aint no such thing
Cant blame the stars or fever of spring
No such luck
There aint no such thing
Somethings always goin wrong
Were just one step ahead of the heartaches|
Tryin to disguise how they take their toll
Just when you think that you got it down
Then you lose control

Standing In The Shadows Of Love
(eddie holland / lamont dozier / brian holland)
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im just waitin for the heartaches to come
I want to run but theres no place to go
cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
cause youve taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
Didnt I treat you right now baby didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
Dont you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
All alone Im destined to be
With misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
But its for sure I aint got nothing but sorrow
Now dont your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute
Didnt I treat you right now honey didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
So dont you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come

cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
Now dont your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
After all the things I done for you
Didnt I treat you right now baby didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you couldnt i
Didnt I do right by you didnt i
Didnt I screw you right now
Kept you in luxury didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you didnt i
Didnt I treat you right now didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
Im trying hard not to cry
You know my crying aint gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
So dont you leave me

Desperate Heart
One night, one empty room, one man gettin over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know will never come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, Im only a fool who cant help but pretend
Chorus:
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart
Some nights, I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know, Im wasting my time, no one can take the place of you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But its all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart, I keep holding on
(guitar solo)
All this time Ive been drowning in hopeless illusions Im keeping inside
That someday youll walk out of the shadows and back into my life
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant believe your love for me is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on (with a desperate heart)
Yeah with my desperate heart, I cant let go until the love is gone
(all over but Im holding on) I keep holding on
(all over but Im holding on) I cant believe your love for me is gone
(all over but I keep holding on)
(all over but Im holding on)

You Better Stop
Well i want you to understand me
I don't want you to be confused
I see through that line you're tryin' to hand me
And i don't like being used
So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
Well you're gifted in your conversation
And you've got a ?? that's mighty strong
And i had you in consideration
But you didn't fool me for long
So i think you better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yes i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
Well who am i to tell you what to do?
I love you just enough to tell you true - you better stop
But if you're content with a one night stand
Then go on, play the field
But just make sure that that's the way you really feel
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You don't really have to change your lifestyle
Just stretch it and let it go
And maybe baby, in the meanwhile
We will fall in love, and you will know
That you had better stop
And see what you're tryin' to do
Yeah i think you better stop
Before it comes back on you
You had better stop
Before it comes back on you
You better stop - stop - stop
Yes i think you better stop
You better stop
You better stop
You better stop

This Old Heart Of Mine
Ooh, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I think you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by,
You've got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
These old arms of mine miss having you around
Make these tears inside start falling down
Always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you

A committed man in this lagoon.
I could never imagine
And ever fall in love
And know our love
And I could ever like parting of my nation and race…..
I’ll be here ultimately for everything.
I’ll be here, to share their love and fun.
I’ll love their posture and pride
And I could never imagine a parting of this race
And this side of our great nation
And this side of our loving race
I’ll be let my heart to feel free to forget
I’ll be mad our love to each other
I’ll be need a lover - a devil
Share my bliss, share my life
I promise I will be for whom
Share my fun share my life
You said a communist
You said a committed man
Is all we committed?
Committed really embrace you!
I could never imagine
And ever fall in this love…
And know our love in this committed race,
I` ll love your posture and pride
Litany you made, a queer to me….
I` ll mad the prude thy made
The Cute smell of your words…
I wish to add..

We Should Be Making Love
Weve been friends forever looking for the same thing
True love can be so hard to find
Maybe weve been looking in all the wrong places
cause we keep coming back here everytime
Talking to each other
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
Maybe theres something going on here
Maybe theres something here for you and me
We should be making love
Instead of wasting time with someone else
We should be making love instead of going home all by ourselves
Oh, now Ive told you I want to be your lover
Why dont we discover where we go from here
I dont want no other
Do you feel it too everything we get together?
Telling our stories
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
Telling our stories
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
I know theres something going on here
You know its so obvious to see
We should be making love
Instead of wasting time with someone else
We should be making love instead of going home all by ourselves
