I don't want to talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more race to play
The winner takes it all
The loose is standing small
Beside the victory
That's our destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I'd be lonely
I figured if this turned
It wouldn't be a fair
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Played by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone will die here
Lose to someone dear
The winner takes it all
The rules are passed upon
It's simple and it's great
Why should I complain?
Can you tell me that she's here
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 deny
The likes of me provide
Spectators of the show
Oh, we're still in love
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big cheer or a smile
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
To see you so tense
We'll carry on

No self-co copies
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
I love you.
