THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL (Abba)

     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...
