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 our destiny

I was in your arms, thinkin' 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 the dice

Their mind's 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 (yes, it's plain)

Why should I complain? (Why 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 (they decide)

The likes of me abide (me abide)

Spectators of the show (of the show)

Always stayin' low (stay 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)

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

See 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)

(Never was a lost fool)

Through wet days, cold as ice

Way down here, someone did

(Takes it all, not lost at all)

It's seems plain, why complain?

(Takes it all)

(And the loser has to all)

Through wet days, cold as ice

Way down here, someone did

(Takes it all, not lost at all)

It's seems plain, why complain?
