[00:00.807][Verse 1]
[00:31.344]I don't wanna talk
[00:35.098]About things we've gone through
[00:38.775]Though it's hurting me
[00:42.093]Now it's history
[00:46.416]I've played all my cards
[00:50.107]And that's what you've done, too
[00:53.746]Nothing more to say
[00:57.355]No more ace to play
[01:00.002][Chorus 1]
[01:01.153]The winner takes it all
[01:04.859]The loser's standing small
[01:08.591]Beside the victory
[01:12.412]That's her destiny
[01:15.726][Verse 2]
[01:16.465]I was in your arms
[01:19.988]Thinking I belonged there
[01:23.593]I figured it made sense
[01:27.320]Building me a fence
[01:31.592]Building me a home
[01:34.911]Thinking I'd be strong there
[01:38.878]But I was a fool
[01:42.260]Playing by the rules
[01:45.121][Chorus 2]
[01:46.293]The gods may throw the dice
[01:49.979]Their minds as cold as ice
[01:53.590]And someone way down here
[01:57.457]Loses someone dear
[02:01.204]The winner takes it all (Takes it all)
[02:04.908]The loser's standing small (Standing small )
[02:08.763]It's simple and it's plain (It seems plain)
[02:12.450]Why should I complain? (Why complain)
[02:16.289][Verse 3]
[02:16.586]But tell me, does she kiss
[02:20.187]Like I used to kiss you?
[02:23.722]Does it feel the same
[02:27.464]When she calls your name?
[02:31.314]Somewhere deep inside
[02:35.049]You must know I miss you
[02:38.687]But what can I say?
[02:42.479]Rules must be obeyed
[02:45.211][Chorus 3]
[02:46.323]The judges will decide (They decide)
[02:50.017]The likes of me abide (We abide)
[02:53.627]Spectators of the show (Of the show)
[02:57.550]Always staying low (Staying low)
[03:01.136]The game is on again (On again)
[03:04.825]A lover or a friend (Or a friend)
[03:08.644]A big thing or a small (Big or small)
[03:12.338]The winner takes it all (Takes it all)
[03:16.653][Verse 4]
[03:18.479]I don't wanna talk
[03:22.149]If it makes you feel sad
[03:26.049]And I understand
[03:29.052]You've come to shake my hand
[03:33.202]I apologize
[03:36.893]If it makes you feel bad
[03:40.749]Seeing me so tense
[03:44.529]No self-confidence
[03:46.759][Bridge]
[03:47.163]But you see, the winner takes it all...
[03:55.816]The winner takes it all...
[04:02.584][Outro]
[04:04.769]So the winner
[04:08.439]Takes it all
[04:12.230]And the loser
[04:15.976]Has to fall
