I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's historyI've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to playThe winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's a destinyI was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fenceBuilding me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rulesThe gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dearThe winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.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 obeyedThe judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always stay in loveThe game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it allI don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my handI apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidenceThe winner takes it all
The winner takes it allThe winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
