Well I'm so sad tonight
And the words won't come out right
It's been a long day on the track
And its 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
