I don't want to 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 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 you see)

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all
