The Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Though it's hurting me, now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say, no more ace to play



The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small

Beside the victory, that's her destiny



I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense building me a fence

Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool playing by the rules



The gods may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear



The winner takes it all (takes it all)

The loser has to fall (has to fall)

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain



But tell me does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say, rules must be obeyed



The judges will decide (will decide)

The likes of me abide (me abide)

Spectators of the show, always staying low

The game is on again (on again)

A lover or a friend (or a friend)

A big thing or a small (big or small)

The winner takes it all (takes it all)



I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologize if it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence

But you see



The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all



So the winner takes it all

And the the loser has to fall

Throw a dice, cold as ice

Way down here, someone dear

Takes it all, has to fall....
