The Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk About things we've been through Though it's hurting me That's just 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 my 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 just a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw the dice Their minds as cold as ice Then someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain How could I complain? 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? The 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 The big thing or small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence The winner takes it all The winner takes it all
