The Winner Takes It All (From 'Mamma Mia')

The Winner Takes It All (From 'Mamma Mia') - Martine McCutcheon

I don't wanna talk about 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 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 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

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all
