      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
