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      See the winner takes it all, and the loser has to fall   Throw the dice, cold as ice, way down here, someone dear   Takes it all, has to fall....
