Before the end of the race

BEFORE THE END OF THE RACE (Jay Ferguson)

Started out one way then turned out the other
And boy it's confused, I ran into your brother,
I just pay no mind, not tryin to be kind,
There's a lock on my heart, couldn't say that I love ya.

It started out slowly, then burned out & 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
Because you lost in the race.

This didn't turn out now the way I'd imagined,
They say runners up never enjoy the pageant,
And all of those lines I'd had to decline,
Just like your friends, they're divided & rationed.

You know my only request,
Is that we really should be together more,
For the end of the race,
Ooh before the end of the race,
Yeah, before the end of the race,
Ooh, before the end of the race,

Let's make it like we never met before
The end of the race.
