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 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
