The Winner Takes It All Lyrics

I don't wanna talk

 About the 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 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

 The loser 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

 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...
