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 left 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 the 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,
cause it makes me 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.
The game is on again,
a lover or a friend.
A big thing or a small,
the winner takes it all.
The winnert takes it all.
