I don't want to ta lk
About the things we've g one through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's histor y
I've played all my c ards
And that's what you've d one too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to p lay
The winner takes it a ll
The loser standing sm all
Beside the victo ry
That's her dest iny
I was in your a rms
Thinking I belo nged there
I figured it made s ense
Building me a f ence
Building me a h ome
Thinking I'd be s trong there
But I was a f ool
Playing by the r ules
The gods may throw a d ice
Their minds as cold as i ce
And someone way d own here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it a ll
The loser has to f all
It's simple and it's p lain
Why should I compl ain
I don't want to t alk
If it makes you f eel sad
And I underst and
You've come to shake my h and
I apologi ze
If it makes you f eel bad
Seeing me so t ense
No self-c onfidence
The judges will d ecid e
The likes of me a bide
Spectators of the s how
Always staying l ow
The game is on a gain
A lover or a f riend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it a ll
The winner takes it al l
mmmmh mmm mmh
The winner takes it a ll
The winner takes it a ll
