The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
about things we've gone through
though its hurting me,
now its history,

i've played all my cards
and thats what you've done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play

the winner takes it all
the looser standing small
beside the victory
thats 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 the dice
their minds as cold as ice
and someone way down here
looses someone dear

the winner takes it all
the looser has to fall
its simple and its 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 obeyed

the judges will decide
the likes of me abide
spectators at the show
always staying low

the game is on again
lover or a friend
admitting I was small
the winner takes it all

i don't want to talk
cause it makes me 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
the game is on again
a lover or a friend
admitting I am small
the winner takes it all

the winner.... takes it all.....
