Foley Ellen Run For My Life lyrics

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)
