The Winner Takes It All Lyrics

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 more to say; no more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser's 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 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 the winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
