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
There's 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 belong there
And I figured it makes sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Just 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 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
But I don’t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to take my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
For seeing me so tense
There's 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
So the winner takes it all)
The winner takes it all
(And the loser has to fall)
