So don't try to make me worry
Don't try to make me hurry
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
Trying to make me run now for that midnight train
Just 'cos I'm standing here in the rain
Tryin' to tell me, making out you're about to go free
My clothes they may be torn
And my shoes they may be worn
No this is something she cares not to see
You can't take that away from me
And once I was scared this race would leave me behind
Now I'm stronger each day and it occurs to me
That it's all a state of mind
So don't try to make me run
For the false starting gun
'Cos you know she'll always wait you see
You can't take that away from me
