The winner takes it all

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.

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...
