Building me a home thinking I'd be strong there
Does it feel the same, when she calls your name
I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand you've come to shake my hand
The winner takes it all, the loser standing small
It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain
The judges will decide, the likes of me abide
Beside the victory that's her destiny
Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you
But you see the winner takes it all
The game is on again, a lover or a friend
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence
A big thing or a small the winner takes it all
I was in your arms thinking I belonged there
But I was a fool playing by the rules
Way down here, someone dear
The Gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice
But what can I say rules must be obeyed
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too
I figured it made sense building me a fence
Spectators of the show always staying low
Throw a dice, cold as ice
And someone way down here loses someone dear
So the winner takes it all and the loser has to fall
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall
The winner takes it all
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play
Takes it all, has to fall
