The Winner Takes It All

Streep Meryl

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 
Nothing more to say 
No more ace to play 

The winner takes it all 
The loser standing small 
Beside the victory 
That's a 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 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 
But you see 
The winner takes it all 
The winner takes it all...
