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
The winner takes it all
(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)
(And it's plain, I complain)...
