The winner takes it all

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

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 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...
