Lyrics
Well, I'm so sad tonight
And the words won't come out right
It's been a long day on the track
And it's stamina that I lack
So, won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight, we could pretend that we're just lovers
But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner
Well, my heart is beating hard
And I'm off with a shot at the start
And my legs tremble from strain
But by the finish line, I am drained
So, won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight, let's not talk about next summer
'Cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner
Well, I'm so proud tonight
Of the woman you've become
And I'm just too tired to fight
So, my darling, I'll succumb
But you'll have to run to me tonight
Tonight, I will love you forever
But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner
