The Winner Takes It All

I don't want to 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 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'll 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 want to 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

Throw a dice, cold as ice, way down here, someone dear

Take it all, has to fall it seems plain can't complain
