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
