I don´t wanna talk
About the 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
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The losser standing small
Beside the victory
That´s her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made 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 ist all
The losser 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 ist all

I don´t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I Understand
You´ve come to shak my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
the winner takes it all
The winner takes it all ...
