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 Chorus The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny Verse 2 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 Chorus 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 Takes it all The loser has to fall Has to fall It's simple and it's plain It seems plain Why should I complain Why complain Verse 3 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 Chorus The judges will decide They decide The likes of me abide We abide Spectators of the show Of the show Always staying low Staying low The game is on again On again A lover or a friend Or a friend A big thing or a small Big or small The winner takes it all Takes it all Verse 4 I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand, you've come to shake my hand I apologise If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence Bridge But you see, the winner takes it all The winner takes it all Outro So the winner Takes it all And the loser Has to fall Throw a dice Cold as ice Way down here Someone dear Takes it all Has to fall It seems plain Why complain
