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...
