Why run with a lightning pace,
when slow and steady wins the race?
What's there to ascertain,
when the answer just gives you pain?
Why should I look for love,
when I got no fitting glove?
Why should I go outside,
when it's much better just to hide?

You know I'm a runner up.
I'm just the second best.
You know I'm a runner up,
'cause I seldom pass the test.

Something must be wrong,
this has happened far too long.
I must step up my game,
and reclaim my good ol'name.
This has happened lots before,
but I won't let it no more.
The more I try to change,
the worse I feel the shame.

Chorus

Repeat first four lines of first verse.
