Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's call it a day, babe
I think I know what you're tryna say
Honey, it's fair play
Why try to win when I know I've lost
[Verse 2]
We don't have to spell it
I think I know what you're trying to say
Just 'cause I think this could break me
It doesn't mean that it will at all
[Verse 3]
Love to the lovers
Hate to the haters
Love to you, babe
Do what you have to
[Verse 4]
What a shame
What a loss
The winner takes
She takes it all
[Verse 5]
What a shame
What a loss
But I can see why
'Cause she's beautiful
[Verse 6]
What a defeat
To say the least
But thank God
The love is free
And maybe it's good for you
It's good for me
[Verse 7]
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 8]
Let's call it a day, babe
I think I know what you're tryna say
And honey you're so right
There's so much to lose, but so much to learn
[Verse 9]
Let's call it a maybe
But we both know you're already gone
And just 'cause it feels like I'm breaking
It doesn't mean I will fall apart
[Verse 10]
Love to the lovers
Hate to the haters
Love to you, babe
Do what you have to
[Verse 11]
What a shame
What a loss
The winner takes
She takes it all
[Verse 12]
What a shame
What a loss
But I can see why
'Cause she's beautiful
[Verse 13]
What a defeat
To say the least
But thank God
The love is free
And maybe it's good for you
It's good for me
[Verse 14]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 15]
Hey, love to you, babe
Love to the lovers
Hate to the haters
Love to you, babe
Do what you have to
Do what you have to
[Verse 16]
What a shame
What a loss
The winner takes
She takes it all
[Verse 17]
What a shame
What a loss
But I can see why
'Cause she's beautiful
[Verse 18]
What a defeat
To say the least
But thank God
The love is free
And maybe it's good for you
It's good for me
