The Winner Takes It All

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 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 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 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...
