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 the 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's standing small (Standing small) It's simple and it's plain (It seems plain) Why should I complain? (Why 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 (They decide) The likes of me abide (We abide) Spectators of the show (Of the show) Always staying low (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 loser Has to fall
