The Winner Takes It All (Unplugged)

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's 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's standing small

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain?

Ah, the winner takes it all

I don't wanna 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

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

Ah, the winner takes it all
