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

There's nothing more to say

No more ace to play



The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small

Beside the victory

That's his 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 God's may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear



The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain?



But tell me does he kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same

When he 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

The likes of me abide

Spectators of the show

Always staying low



The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner 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



Winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

So the winner takes it all

And the loser standing small
