Enter the Race

She's already crossed the finished line 
         She has won you 
              Trophy in her lap
              Man I wish I had you like that
               I see her shiny metal 
                 and my heart skips a beat
                    It makes me want to join the race
                         More than ever 
                         most definitely 
                       I'll get my best car
                       Put in all the expensive parts
                           Just so when I enter the race
                                I'll beat her by a mile
                                   I am a very determined person
                                      I see, I want, I get
                                    She's done shining her metal 
                                        The feeling of winning is dying down
                                         Now your on a shelf all dusty
                                               and I want to shine you up again
                                                 So I sign up for the race 
                                                  Add my name to the list
                                                       So many names are on the loser side
                                                         So many racers contemplating  
                                                               With me there's no hesistation 
                                                                    I'm so tired of being patient
                                                                        I just want you to myself
                                                                        Cause i've never seen a prize
                                                                               So worth getting
                                                                          I start up the engine and zoom down the track
                                                                                     Me and her neck and neck
                                                                                         I really want this my adrenaline's so high
                                                                                     I really don't know what the endings going 
                                                                                              to be 
                                                                                         All I know is I want that trophy
