The Winner Takes It All
I don't want to talkAbout the things we've gone throughThough it's hurting meNow it's historyI've played all my cardsAnd that's what you've done tooNothing more to sayNo more ace to play
The winner takes it allThe loser's standing smallBeside the victoryThat's her destiny
I was in your armsThinking I belonged thereI figured it made senseBuilding me a fenceBuilding me a homeThinking I'd be strong thereBut I was a foolPlaying by the rules
The gods may throw a diceTheir minds as cold as iceAnd someone way down hereLoses someone dear
The winner takes it allThe loser has to fallIt's simple and it's plainWhy should I complain?
I don't want to talkIf it makes you feel sadAnd I understandYou've come to shake my handI apologizeIf it makes you feel badSeeing me so tenseNo self-confidence
The judges will decideThe likes of me abideSpectators of the showAlways staying lowThe game is on againA lover or a friendA big thing or a smallThe winner takes it all
The winner takes it allThe winner takes it allThe winner takes it all
