Lyrics:
(Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus)I don't wanna talkAbout things we've gone throughThough it's hurting meNow it's history.I've played all my cardsAnd that's what you've done tooNothing more to sayNo more ace to play.The winner takes it allThe loser standing smallBeside the victoryThat's our destiny.I was in your armsThinking I belonged thereI figured it made senseBuilding me a fence.Building me a homeThinking I'd be strong thereBut I was a foolPlaying by the rules.The gods may throw a diceTheir minds as cold as iceAnd someone way down hereLoses someone dear.The winner takes it allThe loser has to fallIt's simple and it's plainWhy should I complain?But tell me does she kissLike I used to kiss you?Does it feel the sameWhen she calls your name?Somewhere deep insideYou must know I miss youBut what can I sayRules must be obeyed.The judges will decideThe likes of me abideSpectators of the showAlways staying low.The game is on againA lover or a friendA big thing or a smallThe winner takes it all.I don't wanna talkIf it makes you feel sadAnd I understandYou've come to shake my hand.I apologizeIf it makes you feel badSeeing me so tenseNo self-confidence.But you see...The winner takes it allThe winner takes it all.
