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