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 could turn but 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'll drain



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
