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 her destiny.

I was in your arms thinking I belonged there,
I figured it mad 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.
