I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wanna talk
about the things we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gone through
though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hurting me
now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve played all my cards
and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play<\/p>\n
The winner takes it all
the loser standing small
beside the victory
that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s her destiny<\/p>\n
I was in your arms
thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
building me a fence
building me a home
thinking I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be strong there
but I was a fool
playing by the rules<\/p>\n
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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simple and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s plain
why should I complain<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wanna talk
if it makes you feel sad
and I understand
you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
if it makes you feel bad
seeing me so tense
no self-confidence<\/p>\n
But you see
the winner takes it all<\/p>\n
