Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
[Verse 5]
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
[Verse 6]
Ah, the winner takes it all
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Ah, the winner takes it all
