(Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus)
|
|
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 standing small
|
Beside the victory
|
That's our 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 has to fall
|
It's simple and it's plain
|
Why should I complain?
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
I don't wanna talk
|
If it makes you 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 Winner Takes It All
