Ellen Foley Run For My Life
By Jeff Kent, Ellie Greenwich and Ellen Foley Something's got me working day and night Something tells me winning won't be easy This time I gotta fight Beauty's always been a friend to me But I know she won't stay forever But that's alright Keeping my heart above water Starting to feel that I'm stronger Chorus: I gotta run for my life It's a marathon for my life Take a chance, forget the competition Dancin' till I drop It goes on and on. I can't stop It's a marathon to the top Nothing comes from waiting and a wishing So I keep running Running for my life My lover gives me hope when he is near But only I can make the future Better Facing my fears Moving fast so I can't be shot down They'll never hit a dancing target Now I can see it clear Keeping my heart above water Starting to feel that I'm stronger Repeat Chorus I got my eye on the track I got my hands in the dirt I know there's no turning back I'm gonna push 'til it hurts I know that my desire Will take me to the wire It's not a game I'm playing I am here to WIN Repeat Chorus Running for my life I got my eye on the track I know there's no turning back I'm gonna push push 'til it hurts I'm gonna push push 'til it hurts (It's a marathon) Copyright 1983 Jent Music Inc./My Own Publishing Co.,Inc./Urban Noise Inc.
