Marathon
[Chorus]
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

[Verse 1]
Since I were a little girl, my eyes were fixed on you
I knew that one day we'd meet, that you could set me free
Sure, diamond ring, pretty things, but peace of mind could be all mine
Oh, this growing love affair has kept me on my feet

[Chorus]
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

[Verse 2]
Yesterday I had a glimpse of you, you looked me in my face
And just the other day you brushed right by me, I felt you reeling in my space
Tell me, do you think of me? Can you see me from the start?
I swear I said I'd wait for you, but fate might change the score
[Chorus]
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race
Love is this marathon, I'm running for you baby
And you don't know me yet, but faith is all I have, see
And I'm gonna win this race

[Outro]
Love, love, love, love, love, love...
Okay, now swallow
