I don't wanna talk
About the 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'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
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......
