I don't wanna talk
About the 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 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.....
